"Hot Rod Hot Dogs" is set in a restaurant in the town of
Blakesville, California, circa 1958. The owner of the restaurant,
Mimi Nawrocki, is in danger of losing her business if the drag
strip across the street gets closed down by Mr. Benson, the corrupt
deputy mayor of the town. Swenson has convinced Mayor Tyrone J.
Meane that the town needs to convert the real estate currently
being "wasted" by the drag strip into a new, much more lucrative,
golf course. The kids who race at the strip would be forced to drag
race in unsafe areas, such as in the streets of town or in the
nearby desert. Betty Jean Dale, one of the teens that hang out at
"Hot Rod Hot Dogs," is very upset to hear that the strip and
restaurant could be shut down. Betty Jean's father, Tom Dale, is
the architect who designed the drag strip and got the town to
approve it, against the deputy mayor's wishes. Tom argues with
Swenson and tries to convince the local police, headed by longtime
friend sheriff Roger Druyor, not to shut down the strip. The strip
is ordered shut down. Betty Jean's new boyfriend, Jake Carson, is a
hot-rodder who suffered a tremendous loss in a race when he was
pitted against the mysterious "masked racer." Shortly thereafter,
his girlfriend, Joanne Caputo, dumped him and joined a gang called
the "Lone Wolves." Jake starts seeing Betty Jean, and Joanne starts
going out with the mayor's troubled son, TJ Meane, who has secretly
been in love with Betty Jean for years. But Joanne's not really
attracted to TJ. She has been forced to spend time with TJ to
distract him from the frame-up being perpetrated by the leader of
the "Lone Wolves," Dirk Skagg. Dirk is being paid by Swenson to
plant evidence linking TJ to the destruction of some private
property in town. This would get the boy sent to juvenile hall,
subsequently disgracing the mayor, paving the way for Swenson to
become the new mayor of Blakesville. Featuring songs written by
Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, "Hot Rod Hot Dogs" is a musical the
entire family can enjoy
