Plot

The film is a fast-paced musical comedy about a band of teddy boys and rock n' roll chicks, whose crazy, fun-loving habits inspire bitter complaints from their neighbors in the town. A prominent blue jeans company owner feels that the kids' bad reputation is adversely affecting the sales and public image of his product. Prevailing upon the youths to help, he engineers a series of promotional stunts to lighten the public's opinion of these good-hearted rock n rollers and their lovely jeans. An unscrupulous politician makes things difficult for the youngsters, but everything turns out well in the end.
