Filmed
on location in Bristol, it starred Kenneth More as Mr Smith, Ray
Brooks as Johnnie, Anneke Wills as Ann, David Andrews as Bill,
Angela Douglas as Terry and David Hemmings as Bert.
Three leather-clad bikers lose their licenses following a 100-mile-per-hour
traffic incident on their motorbikes. Now banned from driving,
they become bored and begin to wander the streets of the factory
town at night looking for something to occupy their time.
They come across an unlocked church and Johnnie begins to play
rock'n'roll on the church organ. The Vicar arrives and is initially
angry at what he finds, but his choirmaster Mr Smith also turns
up and, sensing the youths’ boredom, suggests that they form a
band and offers them the facilities of the church hall.

They get to know the youngsters who come to the church hall, many of
whom have been taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Johnnie
and Bert become interested in the initiatives the scheme offers and
decide to join, but Bill becomes jealous of their interests and feels
they should be rebelling. This breaks up their friendship for a time
because Bill trashes the church hall.
In the meantime, Johnny has a complicated romantic life involving Terry,
the blonde singer with the band and Anne, the choirmaster’s daughter.
