Synopsis

A struggling manager visits a hayseed town and discovers a new dance craze, "the Twist" and hopes to turn it into an overnight nationwide sensation.


“ Twist Around the Clock only cost $250,000 to make, but in less than six months it grossed six million - so of course I'm gonna make more 'Twist' movies ! ”
— Sam Katzman
