Johnny Chambers and Tubby visit an animation studio where they are producing a Johnny Quick movie for charity. Racketeers threaten the studio. When the head of the studio refuses to pay, the gangsters set fire to the building. Johnny Quick helps to put out the blaze, but the film is destroyed.

Johnny and Tubby work to remake the feature within a single day. Johnny draws thousands of cells at lightning speed while Tubby films them. Once the film is finished and delivered, Johnny apprehends the firestarters and obtains their confessions.
