Forbstein when Storm’s threats are recalled, he is convicted of manslaughter on the testimony of Taylor, Griffin’s new mechanic. Johnny _ (Frankie _Darro),-—a mechanic in Sandford’s shop, tells Patricia he has seen Griffin and Taylor doing something to the car on the day Storm was discharged. Patricia examines the car and her discovery of spikes driven in the wheel, induced the governor to pardon Storm. In the meantime, Storm had escaped from the penitenciary and went to South America, where, under an assumed name, he made a great record as a track driver. Two years later, when Sanford needed a crack driver very badly, Patricia who suspected the identity of the South American ace, sent for him, Storm was late in reaching the track, the race started with Storm’s assistant at the wheel and Patricia acting as mechanic. The two were far behind when Storm landed in an airplane, leaped into the car and managed to win the race by a few seconds. Taylor, who had recognized him, notified the police, but Johnny had spoken to the judge who released Storm. Taylor is arrested for perjury and Patricia and Storm embrace as the picture ends. ‘‘RED HOT TIRES’”’ 100% with Lyle Talbot 715% ‘ Mary Astor 75% Roseoe Karns 60% Frankie Darro 60% Directed by D.
