Mind Over Motor
Tish Carberry is called upon to chaperone Bettina, a vivacious girl in love with Jasper. Lizzie and Aggie, of the quiet, home-spun variety, decide to go with her. After a harrowing automobile ride, with Tish at the wheel, they arrive at Bettina's, and Tish is arrested for speeding. A scene ensues in which Ellis, a crooked auto race promoter, comes to the rescue and wins Tish's friendship. He persuades her to back one of his bogus races. Lizzie and Aggie overhear, and wire Charlie Sands, Tish's nephew, who tries in vain to dissuade her. Jasper enters the race, while Charlie tells the sheriff the race is fixed. Tish, at last convinced, fills the gas tanks of all the cars but Jasper's with sand. Jasper forges ahead as the other racers have trouble, but, hitting a bump, is thrown out. Tish leaps to his place, and, as her last opponent's car is disabled, wins the race. She is lifted to the shoulders of the crowd, while Jasper and Bettina embrace.
