[[File:phpYpkRsJPM2_305.jpg|frame]]Wealthy but bored businessman Michael Bannon issues the code word "Gumball" to his fellow automobile enthusiasts, who gather in a garage in [[New York City]] to embark on a coast-to-coast race "with no catalytic converter and no 55-mile-per-hour speed limit." Their nemesis, LAPD lieutenant Roscoe, also learns of the race and most of the film is devoted to the adventures of the various driving teams and Roscoe's ineffectual attempts to apprehend them. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
 
The race ends at the ''Queen Mary'' in Long Beach, California, where the finishers celebrate their adventures and the defeated Roscoe skulks off to one side--until a fleet of police cars and tow trucks arrive to impound the vehicles; as it proves, Roscoe had contrived in advance to see to it that all of them were illegally parked. Bannon congratulates Roscoe on his final victory, and again utters the code word "Gumball" to initiate a race back to New York.
 
Compare ''[[Cannonball Run]]''; the two films were both inspired fromby the same real-life outlaw race (but this one did it first, [[Your Mileage May Vary|and some would say, better]]).
