[US] Donald bringt mit seinem eigenhändig auf Geschwindigkeit getrimmten Rennwagen die Nachbarschaft gegen sich auf. Er mischt sich in den Kurierdienst der Neffen ein, liefert sich mit einem anderen Fahrer ein Wettrennen und landet schließlich in einem Frachtflugzeug, weil seine Bremsen versagen. Ein Flugzeugentführer erzwingt die Landung und stiehlt Donalds Wagen - mit dessen Eigenarten er allerdings überfordert ist.
