A racecar driver is banned from the tracks because of drunkenness; however, when a society girl falls in love with him, she encourages him to return to racing with her automobile manufacturer father's assistance. A rival drugs the racer and he is unable to drive, but his friend, who has been afraid of driving since he saw his father die in a racetrack crash, takes over for him and wins the race.
