Baron von Vondervon, a wealthy man, organizes a race for 17-year-old girls to honor his daughter Ivonna, who vanished five years prior. The victor will be treated like his daughter. Meanwhile, a greedy individual named Mr. Free Load recruits a driver named Lolly. Attempting to disguise himself as a woman during the race, Mr. Free Load soon realizes that one of the competitors is Ivonna and kidnaps her. After Speed rescues her, Trixie and Ivonna finish the race with Trixie claiming first place and Ivonna in second. The Baron recognizes Ivonna but she chooses to stay with her orphanage family. In a generous gesture, the Baron decides to split his fortune, giving half to Ivonna and the other half to the orphanage, inviting the children to live at his estate.
