PlotA group of young boys who call themselves "The He-Man Woman Haters Club" pledge to shun girls, epitomized by their charismatic leader, Spanky, and his best friend, Alfalfa. Trouble arises when Alfalfa is smitten by Darla, a charming girl in their neighborhood, leading to a breach in the club's foundational rule. Alfalfa's secret rendezvous with Darla is accidentally discovered by the other club members during the preparation for their prized go-kart, The Blur, for an upcoming race. His loyalty to both the club and Darla becomes a comedic conundrum, while club unity and The Blur's readiness for the race are put in jeopardy.
Meanwhile, a pair of rich bullies, intent on winning the race and crushing The He-Man Woman Haters Club, implement various schemes to ensure their victory and dismantle the bond within the rascals' devoted group. The club must navigate the challenges of friendship, first crushes, and the meddling bullies to maintain the integrity of their bond. With the go-kart race approaching, and the boys' friendships tested by their misadventures and Alfalfa's divided affections, the value of camaraderie over competition comes to the forefront of their youthful exploits.
