Synopsis

Patsy Deveau, a Follies girl, accompanied by Raymond Tyson, a city millionaire, is stopped by a policeman for speeding; while Tyson is paying the fine, Hector Whitmore, a smalltown inventor, imagines he is making a hit with Patsy displaying his inventions, including a car capable of traveling 150 miles an hour and stopping in two car lengths. She pretends to be flattered and casually suggests he see her in New York; he faithfully follows. Tyson persuades her to play along, hoping to sell Hector's car to the fire department; his initial attempt at a demonstration is sabotaged; Patsy, however, disgusted with Tyson, pleads Hector's cause. Hector takes the official on a perilous drive, refusing to stop until the contract is signed. Having thus proved the worth of his wonder car, he wins the contract and Patsy as well.
