Synopsis
Steve Grayson is a stock car racing champion whose prowess on the track is
matched by his generosity in sharing his winnings with people in need. Partly as
the result of his philanthropies but more largely due to the fact that his
manager, Kenny Donford, has been losing Steve's winnings by betting on slow
horses, Steve finds himself-spectacularly in arrears on his income tax payments.
The Internal Revenue Service sends Susan Jacks to check up on Steve and
straighten everything out.
After a few misunderstandings, all the plot twists are unraveled; Steve begins
paying back his income tax and wins Susan.
