On the day of the world's championship auto race between Oldfield and DePalma, Jabs escapes and follows the crowds to the race. Pokes goes also and invites himself to ride in Lotta Wealth's speedster, but is ejected. Just then Jabs happens along and with his aid Pokes gains admittance to the race track, but Jabs is left outside. Seeing the guards on his trail he beats it back to the sanitarium. The race takes place and after many incidents Oldfield wins. Lotta Wealth remarks that she could beat Oldfield's record. Pokes doubts it, so off they went, through fences, over hills, through valleys and over bridges, until they finally run through an open draw. As they are swimming for shore Pokes remarks to Lotta, "I knew when we started you couldn't do it," but her reply is lost in the noise of the waves.
