Video

Beverly Blake (Virginia Vale), the 'Blonde Comet," and the daughter of a tire-manufacturer (William Halligan), gets behind the wheel of a race-car, and is soon tearing up the tracks and winning races in Italy, France and Germany (obviously prior to 1938 when those countries were no longer running international car races in Europe.)
