Synopsis:
Johnny Quick makes a film for the U.S.O. which demonstrates his amazing super speed. The film is then stolen from Tubby Watts while he is eating at a lunch counter. Johnny deduces that the crooks must want the film to learn the secret of his magic formula.

Johnny tracks down the thieves and finds them murdered. He follows the car which dropped off the bodies. It leads him to Mr. Meek, an expert lip reader who hired the men to steal the film. Meek shoots Johnny, who manages to destroy the film. Wounded, Johnny is locked in vault while the building burns around him. He is able to escape by trying every possible combination on the vault's lock. He then captures Mr. Meek and makes a new film which can't be used to learn his secret.
