What starts as an annoying tail becomes the last thing they expected when Freddy finally makes it home.

Freddy's reckless driving has made him the target of Mr. Fizzler, the traffic safety–obsessed president of the Citizens Committee, who seems determined to teach the teen a lesson through fines and scrutiny.

Daniel Boone earned his reputation as one of America's greatest pioneers through his skill with a rifle and his deep love of the wilderness, first gaining notice as a marksman under British General Braddock during the French and Indian Wars of 1755. His exploration of Kentucky led him to establish settlements despite repeated conflicts with Native Americans, and his construction of a fortified stockade eventually grew into the town of Boonesboro, opening the vast frontier to American expansion.
