Later that night a man named &#8220;Uncle Joe&#8221; (Huntz Hall) has a mild heart attack and as a result cannot operate his local gas station because of it. Fortunately, his niece, &#8220;June&#8221; (Kirsten Baker) comes up with a plan to invite her high school friends to help run it while Uncle Joe is recovering. What none of them realize however is the extent at which a new service station across the street has ruined Uncle Joe&#8217;s business. And the owner of the new gas station, &#8220;Mr. Friendly&#8221; (Dave Shelley) has no intention of allowing anybody to interfere with his profits. What Mr. Friendly doesn&#8217;t count on is the ingenuity of June furthered by the Vultures when they decide to join her team. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is the kind of grade-B film which could have only been produced in the 70&#8217;s with the music, hair styles and everything else clearly standing out. Yet in spite of the obvious low-budget, extremely simple plot and poor acting, the movie itself wasn&#8217;t too bad all things considered. What I found most enjoyable was that the humor was so basic and corny that it was actually funny&#8211;in a weird sort of way. Likewise, having a couple of cute young actresses like Linda Lawrence (as &#8220;Betty&#8221;) along with the afore-mentioned Kirsten Baker certainly didn&#8217;t hurt either. That said, while this film clearly isn&#8217;t a good picture by any means, it wasn&#8217;t that bad either and because of that I have rated it as just slightly below average.<\/p>\n<div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This movie begins with 3 members of a local motorcycle gang known as &#8220;the Vultures&#8221; playing a trick on some high school students during their graduation.
