Plot

Although the film was advertised as being based on Anita King's real cross country trip in a roadster,[4] the film actually follows the adventures of a man (Victor Moore) trying to win money in a transcontinental car race to pay back debt he owes. He eventually realizes that Grace (Anita King) needs money for her father and intentionally lets her win. The man gets money from an engine patent in the end anyway and that covers what he owes.[5]
