Ken loves to design and build exotic cars. When the High School shop class project car, a fully tricked out dream Corvette, is stolen, he begins searching for it. His search leads him to Las Vegas, where Vanessa, a teenaged prostitute wannabe, helps him try to track it down.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The custom Corvette was built by famous hot rodder Dick Korkes and later vanished, possibly destroyed.
This was Hamill's first post-Star Wars role; George Lucas allegedly advised him to take it to avoid typecasting, proving even Jedi masters make mistakes.
