action

When an undercover detective is shot dead while investigating a series of Porsche 911 thefts, Lieutenant Vincent Bracey hires 22-year-old San Diego officer Benjamin "Benjy" Taylor to infiltrate a Porsche garage that is believed to be a front for the Grand Theft Auto program represents. Benjy is chosen because of his extensive mechanical knowledge of German cars and his rookie status, which discourages others from suspecting he is a cop. Bracey wants Benjy to get evidence that millionaire playboy Ted Varrick is the mastermind behind the detective's thefts and murder.

Under the pseudonym "Billy Ayles", Benjy moves to Los Angeles and gets a job at Technique Porsche as a mechanic. After Benjy fixes Ted's Porsche one night, the two men become close friends, and Benjy becomes romantically involved with Ted's sister Ann. Benjy also discovers the presence of a rival syndicate led by Frank Martin, leading him to believe that Ted is not the prime suspect despite Bracey's insistence.

Finally, Ted brings Benjy into his side business of stealing Porsches, and garage manager Malcolm coordinates the operations. Benjy's first attempts to steal cars fail miserably. Frank's syndicate begins and opens his hand as a warning. While working at the mall, Benjy and Ted are confronted by Frank and his thugs, but they manage to lose them in a long chase. Ted awards Benjy with a red Porsche that evening. The next day, Ted goes to Technique Porsche and discovers that Malcolm was murdered. In retaliation, he kills Frank in a nightclub.

During a phone call at a party, the corrupt police lieutenant Curtis Loos, who was hired by Ted to take out the detective at the opening of the film, tells Ted about Benjy's true identity. The next evening, Ted has Benjy Loos meet at a warehouse to get a payout. When Loos tries to kill Benjy, Ted runs to him to save his friend, despite what he knows. Later, Benjy stops at Bracey's to inform him of the events with Loos and accuses the lieutenant of conspiring with him. Bracey kicks Benjy out, but tells him to call in the morning so they can sort it out. Benji drives off, not knowing that Ted is around, and spies on him.

The next day, Benjy's cover is puffed up from Ann when his uncle Mike visits him at his apartment. He goes to Bracey's house and finds that Ted murdered him. Ted prepares to escape when Benjy persuades him to meet at the mall where he tries to arrest Ted for the murders. Ted quietly refuses to leave, and a shootout breaks out. Benjy is wounded, but manages to shoot and kill Ted.
