Former American Olympic swimmer Jeff Rayburn (Ben Murphy) drifts around Australia, eventually taking up sidecar racing with Aussie motorcyclist Dave Ferguson (John Clayton). The two vie for the attentions of rich girl Lynn Carson (Wendy Hughes) amid the plentiful racing footage, with
Ferguson's reputation for endangering his partners adding to the tension. Made as part of a contemporary push to bring film production to Australia, SIDECAR RACERS is an example of the type of filmmaking that was soon to be far outclassed with the rise of independent Australian cinema.
