The Thompson-Thorpe automobile was once a great car but dissension between the owners led to the break-up of the company, and Thompson and Thorpe have each started their own car-manufacturing company. Not knowing his true identity, Earle Thorpe Jr. has been hired by Henry Thompson to drive his new car in an upcoming race. Unknown to Thompson has two crooked mechanic/engineers on his payroll who plan to make their own car, using Thompson's plans, and win the big race themselves.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its drama around the clash between personal ambition and technological progress, using the race as a metaphor for life's struggle. It explores a classic love triangle and the theme of a family feud overcome by a shared purpose.

What lingers after viewing is the thrilling track confrontation, where honesty and ingenuity triumph over deceit. The narrative leaves one with a sense that even the oldest rivalries can be resolved through collaboration. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch in quiet to absorb the tension of early auto racing and the drama of industrial rivalry.
