Synopsis

Lou Larrigan, employed by Dave Gentry in automobile sales, is ambitious to become a race driver like his partner, "Bullet," who has been barred from the track for causing an accident. When Dave goes broke, he and Bullet accept an offer from "Windy" Wallace, a crooked promoter, to frame a race. Meanwhile, Lou is booked into various races, becomes successful, and wins the love of Ruth Morgan, daughter of the town banker. When Bullet wrecks his car attempting to break a record, a race is arranged between Lou and Bullet; and Windy gets a wealthy man to bet $25,000 on Lou. Learning of the plot, Lou confronts the villains and alarms them by predicting that he will win the race. Bullet deliberately tries to run him off the track, but Lou evades Bullet and in a thrilling finish wins the race.
