Hot rod show producer Grant Tucker has hired the Hardy boys as there have been several mysterious accidents and an unknown extortionist has been demanding a quarter of a million bucks in hard cash. Several dangerous accidents happen, with monster trucks without drivers going on rampage, tires coming off and hot rods going up in flames. In the end, Joe and a star rider Jessica Derey have a hair's breadth escape, narrowly escaping being crushed by a monster pickup on a live TV show. They also catching the extortionist, a former star who was involved in a major accident, got scared of driving and managed to work up a lot of resentment, which was why he decided to damage the show by greatly reducing the amount of cash it has.
