His new $125,000 home in suburban Philadelphia has a six-car garage, and Joe has a machine for each space?a souped-up Corvette, a golden Coupe deVille, a 1934 Chevrolet, a Cadillac limousine, a Chevy station wagon and a $4,700 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that he guns down country roads at upwards of 100 m.p.h.

But the film's sole purpose is to give Stewart and Fonda a chance to weave their well-tuned wiles. The result could win the heart of a Wichita banker...
