Facing financial difficulties, Cherry Bomb's aspirations seem out of reach until he discovers an advertisement for the World High School Go Kart Grand Prix, where Indianapolis High will represent America.

The World High School Go Kart Grand Prix proves to be a grueling competition, with Cherry Bomb racing against 128 students from around the world. He navigates through seven exhilarating races in cities like New York, Tokyo, London, Paris, Vancouver, Seoul, and culminates in the grand finale in San Francisco.

In preparation, Cherry Bomb undergoes rigorous training, spending countless hours on the running track. During the qualification race at school, Cherry Bomb encounters Derek "Knuckles" Thompson, the main antagonist and school bully. Despite finishing 10th, Cherry Bomb learns that he qualifies when the student who placed 9th is disqualified. However, Derek ominously warns him that his luck won't last.

Determined, Cherry Bomb packs his bags for the journey, and at the opening ceremony in Seoul, South Korea, he meets fellow racers and his love interest, Kathryn.

The race becomes a battle between Cherry Bomb and Derek, with Kathryn joining in despite her injuries. Cherry Bomb makes a brave move by sacrificing himself to stop Derek from winning. With Derek defeated, Cherry Bomb is declared the winner, receiving praise and admiration. Derek faces consequences, getting expelled from Indianapolis High.
