Johnny Casar (Mickey Rooney) runs away from a home for wayward boys, tired of being teased about being short and a poor athlete. He soon finds a pair of roller skates and is befriended by Bruno Crystal (Ralph Dumke), who allows him to wash dishes at his café, while a priest who runs the home, Father O'Hara (Pat O'Brien), secretly keeps an eye on him. 
　　A traveling roller-skating team takes an interest in Johnny after he shows some aptitude. He clashes with Mack Miller (Glen Corbett), a cocky champion, and falls for Mary Reeves (Beverly Tyler), another top skater. Johnny ends up featured in grudge matches against Miller, where they take turns one-upping one another. 
　　As his fame grows, Johnny becomes every bit as arrogant as Miller and more. Life takes a bad turn when he is diagnosed with polio. A long period of physical therapy follows, until a wheelchair-bound Johnny tries to get his life back on track.约翰尼·卡萨(米奇·鲁尼饰)从一个任性男孩的家里跑了出来，他已经厌倦了被人嘲笑自己个子矮小和运动能力差。很快他就找到了一双旱冰鞋，布鲁诺·克里斯托(Bruno Crystal，拉尔夫·杜姆克[Ralph Dumke]饰)和他成为了朋友，布鲁诺允许他在咖啡馆里洗碗，而家里的牧师奥哈拉神父(帕特·奥布莱恩[Pat O'Brien]饰)则暗中监视着他。
