22-year old Mike Reagan, son of California's Governor Ronald Reagan, wins the grueling outboard motorboat marathon on the Colorado River. He wins $9,000 after two days and eight hours. A panoramic shot shows the Colorado River being raced upon by several powerboats. Close-ups show various boats skipping over choppy water. Aerial shoots spin as they attempt to capture the boats racing away. The crowd seems kind of bored with the race. The winner, Mike Reagan (Michael Reagan), kisses a young hunk while seated in his boat.
