A scrappy, energetic exploitation-era sports drama about a working-class woman clawing her way to roller derby stardom against jealous rivals and institutional resistance.

Karen wants more action out of life and quits her job at the cannery to become a skater in the roller derby. She encounters friction from the other skaters - especially Mickey, the current number one star of the team. Karen proves herself a feisty competitor but refuses to be a team player. As she skates her way to roller stardom, she incurs the wrath of jealous team members and the owner of the team.
