Racing driver Ziggy Beeman's luck runs out when his car catches fire during a crucial race, but a chance encounter with a resourceful college student named Leroy and his sister Miss Dunne offers him an unexpected lifeline. As Ziggy helps Leroy install an experimental engine into the damaged chassis, he discovers both a shot at redemption on the track and something far more valuable off it. When the rebuilt car finally hits the racing circuit, everything Ziggy's been working toward hangs on whether Leroy's unconventional engine design can deliver the goods.
