Synopsis
Bugs Raymond, the inventor of a car with a fuelless motor, becomes acquainted with Ruth Decker, the daughter of a motor manufacturer who persuades her father to attend a demonstration of Bugs's car. A rival salesman bribes Bugs's mechanic to tamper with the engine, and the demonstration is a total failure. Bugs learns of this sabotage the following day, and he and Ruth forcibly persuade the elder Decker to take another ride in the car. The second demonstration is a success, and after Bugs retrieves a contract that Decker had signed with the rival salesman, Decker buys Bugs's invention.
