            The arrid expanse of downtown Tucson, Arizona, contains
a strip of buildings known as Thunder Alley. Within this gaudy
collection of record shops and rock clubs there is a nightclub.
Playing in its gilded halls gives the promising musician an
opportunity to be heard by various recording interests. It is
said locally that to play The Palace means Los Angeles and the
promise of a record contract.
This is the dream that lives within Richie, a talented
20 year-old living on his parents farm. After his chores are
complete, Richie practices daily in the barn, but his audience
of cows and chickens, though appreciative, does not have the
ability to give Richie what he wants. Richie knows this, as
does his best friend Donnie, the keyboardist in a rock group,
called Magic.
When an incident deprives the band of their lead guitar,
Donnie brings in Richie. His inclusion in the band gives the
group a sensational new energy that gets them noticed by the
Fat Man, Tuscons music kingpin. His interest in the group
brings him to foot the bill to send them out on the road for
a trial run. If the boys are good enough he will book them
at The Palace - and then, who knows?
Richies new girlfriend is sorry to see him leave so
soon after they have met. And with harvest time coming, Richies
father also puts up a stiff argument for the boy to stay. But
Richies excitement wins them all over.
His experiences on the road couldnt go better. Magics
special electricity radiates from the stage and into the audience,
"sending their growing fans wild with frenzy. Soon, their reputation
preceeds them from town to town.
But other things start happening too. Caught up on their
own ego trips, some of the boys start exploring recreational drugs
and indulging in free sex. Although Richie stays clear of all
this, he watches as Donnie begins a path of self-destruction.
A success, their tour is cut short by the Fat Man, and
the boys are brought back to play The Palace. But Donnies death
by drug overdose sends Richie into a rampage. The band plays
despite his death, and Richies angry rage makes him give a
performance that brings him all he has wanted. He has become
a star.
