Larry Evans (Rex Lease), champion race car driver, is envied by his chief
rival, Eddie DeSylva (Duncan Renaldo), who has more ambitions than
merely winning the races; he has designs on the motor patent held by
Corbett (Tom Moore), Larry's employer. Eddie also has a yen for Corbett's
daughter, Norma (Muriel Evans), who prefers Larry. Eddie intentionally
causes a race wreck that injures Larry and sends him to the hospital.
Larry emerges from the hospital and finds his morale and courage has
been broken when he falters while chasing some DeSylva henchmen who
have robbed Corbett of some blueprints. But he regains his nerve and
courage at the race track when he realizes that the driver hired to
replace him, Barney Smith (Yakima Canutt), is working for DeSylva with
intentions of throwing the race.
