Four good-hearted but disaster-prone teens take jobs setting up mannequins for atom bomb testing in Nevada, leading to a weekend they won't forget.
Teenagers. It doesn't matter what era: Arguing over which song on the hit parade is the dreamiest, surviving their parents, or finding a job that doesn't suck big-time.
Oh, and returning the B-52 bomber you took for a test spin, stopping World War III, and saving the planet from atomic zombie chickens flooding out of cobalt-contaminated Las Vegas.
It's just another weekend for four ungraceful teens hired to set up domestic survival simulations, aka atomic dummies, during 1955's civil defense atom bomb tests.
