Chicago native Ren McCormack and his mother Ethel move to the small town of Bomont to live with Ren’s aunt and uncle in the rural Southwest. While attending church, Ren meets Reverend Shaw Moore, his wife Vi, and daughter Ariel. Ariel recklessly endangers her life by rebelling against Shaw’s strict religious nature, much to the ire of her friends and boyfriend Chuck Cranston. At school, Ren befriends Willard Hewitt, and learns the town council has banned dancing and rock music within the town boundary. He soon begins to fall for Ariel. After trading insults with Chuck, Ren is challenged to a game of chicken involving tractors.
Ren wins when his shoelace becomes stuck and prevents him from jumping from the tractor. Shaw distrusts Ren, and forbids Ariel from seeing him after she shows an interest in him. Wanting to show his friends the joy and freedom of dance, Ren drives Ariel, Willard, and her best friend Rusty to a country bar 100 miles away from Bomont. Once there, Willard is unable to dance and gets into a jealous fight with a man who dances with Rusty. On the drive home, the gang crosses a bridge where Ariel tells the story about how her older brother died in a car accident while driving under the influence of alcohol after a night of dancing.
