- A series of identical accidents kills racing drivers, but a dim-witted mechanic suspects they were not accidents.
- Racing car enthusiast Jerry O'Connor and his dim-witted mechanic, Buddy Buttle, get their chance to join the crew of race car builder Pinky Delano, who just suffered a setback when one of his drivers was killed by failing to make a turn on the track. Then, one by one, his other drivers suffer the same fate, until it is Jerry's turn to drive in the big race. Buddy tries an experiment and determines these were no accidents but is it too late to help Jerry, who has started the race?

Australian release: 25 May 1939. 70 minutes.<br/><br/>SYNOPSIS: Are Pinky Delano's race drivers really jinxed? A dim- witted mechanic attempts to find a solution.<br/><br/>COMMENT: You either like Dennis O'Keefe's obnoxious go-getter of a racing driver, or you don't. Personally, I do. He's obnoxious, yes, but in an amusing way. I'll repeat the question with a few variations. Do you take to Nat Pendleton's dimwit? Yes, I must admit I do. He's a bit of a pain at times, true, but on the whole, he's tolerable enough. How about Cecilia Parker's frosty heroine? I don't see what Dennis sees in her, but she's okay for a cold shoulder type. <br/><br/>What about the story? Now that's a mixed bag. I thought at first we were in for a standard car-racing picture. You know the plot better than I do. Tyro offends everyone at first, but then makes good by winning the big race. Cheers all around! And that actually happens in this picture too. Admittedly, in an absolutely impossible way, but who but all the car owners in the audience will know the difference?<br/><br/>However, grafted on to this well-used, if unlikely plot, is another story, a moderately intriguing and suspenseful mystery. Maybe it's not a murder mystery. Maybe it is. You'll just have to see the picture to find out.
- Do you think any race car driver can negotiate a track blindfolded while going over a hundred miles per hour, even with someone giving a whistle at one of the tricky turns? That's one of the idiocies of this film, which asks us to suspend disbelief once too often. I have always liked Dennis O'Keefe, but he comes across here as a pest and nuisance as he joins a racing car group headed by Harry Carey, Sr., mostly because of Carey's daughter, Cecilia Parker, to whom he is attracted. Another problem with the film is that O'Keefe and Parker have zero chemistry together. I don't think Parker smiled even once; she seemed not to be enjoying even being in the film. I enjoyed Nat Pendleton's comic antics, and some of the acting of the drivers Tom Neal and Tom Collins. But overall, it's not much of a racing drama or a murder mystery.
