Mechanic CC Rider, portrayed by Joe Namath, has joined the rock group Heads . When some members of the gang harass the young journalist Ann, CC steps in and earns her affection.

CC has to compete in a race against Boss Moon to see her again unscathed.
The film also features singer Wayne Cochran and his band The CC Riders .
criticism
"" CC and Company "... is actually a work of such opportunism, such vulgarity and such old-fashioned, romantic craziness that it is impossible not to be charmed by it ..."
"Hell's Angels and Company," by Seymour Robbie. The thoughtlessness of giving absolution to the dubious practices of a noble rocker who is turning into a citizen (theft and property destruction "in the right place") - it serves the return of the hero to America's medium-sized competitive society! - is characteristic of a director who worked for "Bonanza" for a long time. He slaughters the genre of the rocker film without hesitation and turns it into a lying cemetery of quotations. "
