Dedicated to the philosophy of "winning is the only thing", Douglas alienates his fellow racers and everyone else with whom he comes in contact. Only when he is on the verge of losing his sweetheart Bella_Darvi does our hero put his priorities in order. Adapted from a novel by Hans_Ruesch, The Racers was remade in a 60-minute version as Men_Against_Speed, an entry in the weekly TV anthology The 20th Century-Fox Hour. Hal Erickson, Rovi
