MICKEY ROONEY STARS AS A RACE CAR DRIVER WHOSE LATE FATHER ALSO TOOLED THOSE SPEED WAGONS AROUND THE TRACK. HE BECOMES A HOT-RODDER AND INADVERTENTLY CAUSES THE DEATH OF ANOTHER DRIVER. SOON, HIS REPUTATION AS A DAREDEVIL PRECEDES HIM AND NO OWNER WILL GIVE HIM A CAR TO RACE. HE HITS THE EASTERN CIRCUIT AND, AFTER TRYING SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS, WINDS UP IN GASOLINE ALLEY AT THE INDY TRACK. MARY HATCHER STICKS WITH HIM THROUGH THIN & THINNER AND SHE IS FINALLY REWARDED WHEN MICKEY COMES TO HIS SENSES AFTER HE COMES IN THIRD AT INDY, IN A RACE HE THOUGHT HE HAD WON. HATTIE MCDANIEL SINGS A SONG FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND SPRING BYINGTON AND THOMAS MITCHELL ARE WASTED AS MICKEY'S MOTHER AND HER BEAU.
