Line 2:
Phil Sanderberg, a high-panted, smooth-crooning, truck-driving hepcat who his friends know as "Daddy-O", meets a blond bombshell when she tries to run his truck off the road. Guy meets girl again at a nightclub. They have a drag race. Meanwhile, the hepcat's best friend is run off the road by drug-dealing bad guys and dies in the crash. Though our hero is briefly accused of causing the accident that killed his best friend, he is quickly exonerated -- but with his driver's license suspended. Daddy-O turns detective and goes undercover at the bad guys' nightclub to find out who really caused his best friend's death. He poses as a singer at the nightclub, singing ''[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ibqv_dick-contino-rock-candy-baby-1958_music Rock Rock Candy Baby!]'' and moonlights driving the drug smugglers' car.

Somehow or other, though [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|they bicker constantly]], the good guys manage to fall in love and solve the crime.
