As described in a film magazine review,[2] garage mechanic Tom Milburn is in love with Bess Stanson, a cashier at the garage. A rival for her affection appears in the person of Claude Roswell, a wealthy sport who drives a Rolls-Royce. Tom and a pal have invented new tires that they expect to be a racing success. Tom enters a big automobile race, finds a chance to use his new tires, and wins despite foul play on the part of Roswell. Roswell is then arrested. Tom and Bess decide to tie up for live.
