Synopsis: [From Biograph promotional materials] This is a most astonishing picture, for although the automobiles are flying along the road at almost incredible speed they are shown sharply and distinctly without a blur. The road which is exceedingly picturesque, is lined with spectators and the whole scene is one of tremendous excitement. A very fine film in every way.
