A lighthearted, high-energy comedy about an underdog street racer and his beat-up Opel Manta competing against fancier cars and rivals for glory and romance.

A not-so-clever guy called Bertie with an Opel Manta (a low-budget European sports coupé from the '80s) gets competition in a street race from a guy with a fast Mercedes, and another slick guy with a Ferrari tries to get his hands on Bertie's girlfriend.
