Marty Steele has set many speed records throughout his life. Now that he is older, he sponsors a race across the country by land, sea, and air. Batman and Robin decide to use the race to test new equipment, thought they don't officially enter. George Kale, the president of Lightning Motors, hires men to sabotage the other contestants, allowing his niece to win. Batman helps the stricken drivers and stops the saboteurs. A masked contestant, who turns out to be Marty Steele, wins the race. He awards the money to the second place finisher, a blind man, Roy Damon.
