Kowalski works for a car delivery service, and takes delivery of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to drive from Colorado to San Francisco. Shortly after pickup, he takes a bet to get the car there in less than 15 hours. Though star Barry Newman did some stunts, much of the driving was set up and performed by stunt coordinator Carey Loftin (Grand Prix, Bullit, The French Connection). Co-stars Cleavon Little and Dean Jagger.
