She tricks him into consenting to have a special car made for the race. She meets Robby Smith, the son of the owner of a rival business, and a love affair develops between the two. The selected driver of the car, Fred Claxton, has been bribed by the rival concern, and just before the race is set to begin tries to quit. Virginia takes his place and drives the car to victory with the assistance of Robby, who drives one of his father's cars.
