Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Don't was an unfortunate choice of titles for this MGM programmer, since many filmgoers took the advice literally. Sally O'Neill plays Sally Moffett, a headstrong boarding-school girl who's determined to cut loose and have a good time despite the admonitions of her parents. Sally gets more than she bargained for when she's kidnapped by a band of escapees from a mental institution and taken for a wild ride in an out-of-control roadster. With her boyfriend Tom (John Patrick) bound hand-and-foot in the trunk of the car, our heroine is forced to bring the vehicle under control herself -- and never mind that she doesn't know how to drive. Several scenes are stolen by child actress Helen Hoge, cast as a precocious war orphan (how did she get into this?)
