This minor teenage hokum with an amusement-park setting begins when three robbers grab a diamond that is to be used in a promotional giveaway. When the police give chase, the hot rock is hidden inside a stuffed toy. Later Carl Marotte, a park worker, and his pal Thor Bishopric try their hands at picking up girls. They meet punkish Carolyn Dunn and sidekick Rachel Hayward, and whirlwind romance ensues. While trying to impress the girls, one of the would-be Romeos wins the booty-laden stuffed toy. When the crooks come to fetch their loot, they end up buying all the toys, only to find their treasure gone. Thoughtless, with little excitement, the film never takes off. The plot keeps hinting at action and thrills but never delivers. The result is just another in an endless series of perfunctory, filmmaking-by-numbers efforts. leave a comment
