The movie centers around a group of boys who start an anti-girl group – the He-Man Woman Haters Club – and enter in a soapbox rally.
As their driver falls in love a female schoolmate, the boys set out to break up the couple.
While the boys plot to break up the couple, however, their soapbox car is stolen – creating a debacle.
