Description

The story follows a tight‑knit crew of teenage girls who have turned the open road into their playground. Cora Kimball pilots the sleek, silent Whirlwind while her friend Hazel lounges in the plush tonneau, and the Robinson twins—Belle and Bess—skillfully handle the silver Flyaway. When the lively Sid Wilcox and his fiery‑haired companion Ida Giles join the convoy, the town’s streets become a lively parade of color, speed, and good‑natured rivalry.

Their morning ride takes an unexpected turn when a careless bump sends a picnic hamper flying, scattering dishes and a half‑eaten pie across the road. The sudden crash forces the motor girls to confront a tangled mess of apologies, bruised egos, and a mystery about what really caused the mishap. As they scramble to set things right, the girls discover that teamwork and quick thinking are just as essential as a steady hand on the steering wheel.
