Synopsis:
Bruce Wayne has entered a car race. During qualifying he sees Diana Prince. She does not know that he is Batman. When Diana learns that another driver, Willi Van Dort, plans to sabotage Bruce's car, she tries to intervene. Bruce was going to stop the saboteurs, but he must feign weakness to protect his secret identity. As a result, he is struck in the head. Although, he wants to race, the doctors will not let him.

Diana prepares to race in Bruce's place. However, Batman appears and is given Bruce's car. Diana learns that Willi and his men are planning traps for Batman during the race. She and I Ching then stop Willi's men, while Batman must avoid sabotage on the track. Eventually, the last of Willi's men drops a banner onto the wrong car. Willi is wiped out as a result, and Batman wins the race.

Afterwards Diana is questioned by police as she mixed up her own car with another of the same model. The owner of the other car demands that she be arrested for stealing his car.
