When A Rube Turns Villian And strikes out to break the speed records in the White Lights, there's no telling what will happen. Many of the hair-raising possibilities are seen.

Synopsis

Hezekiah Dill is a meek clerk in a store in a small town. One day a pair of criminals robs the store safe, but Hezekiah manages to lock them in the safe, and begins to pick up their intended loot. He suddenly realizes that all this money would enable him to become the "Broadway Sport" he's always wanted to be, so he goes for it. Complications ensue.
