Holly Sherwood invents a device that can turn off all power sources in the vicinity. Your greedy boss Dr. Bruekner and his accountant Roberts want to sell the device to arms dealers for a lot of money. Holly takes the next best chance to escape. She meets the truckers Rafe and Victor. Both of them have problems too, because Gweeny wants to confiscate her truck if they fail to raise the necessary bail. A wild hunt through the USA begins. The three now have not only Gweeney, but also Bruekner's thugs, which Roberts is part of, on their necks. Bruekner's henchmen are put to flight with the help of Hap, a friend of the truckers. There is a showdown in front of Holly's house, and Holly destroys her invention. Bruekner is taken away by the arms dealers. Gweeny steals Viktor and Rafe's truck, but becomes radioactive from the damaged barrels on the truck. It turns out that one of the truckers swapped the invention for a simple remote control. Holly can still become a millionaire and help the truckers out of the financial crisis.

criticism
The film-dienst described the film as "crazy teenage clothes, very loud and without a bite". The film website kino.de saw "puns and slaps wherever the eye can see". The film would exceed the “joke-pain threshold” so often that “it's almost weird again”. In summary it says: "Fun that simpler minds will enjoy."
