Frankie O'Malley (Frankie Darro) and Jefferson Smith (Mantan Moreland) are broke and looking for work. In the help-wanted section of the newspaper (a quaint object that people used to read...when people could read)they see employment offered at the Overland Transport Company, a hauling firm owned by "Pop" Wallace (Robert Homans.) Unaware that a trucking war is going on and that Wallace's trucks are being wrecked and his men killed, Frankie and Jefferson apply for work and are hired by "Chick" Daly (Jackie Moran), mechanic at the garage, and by Patsy Wallace (Marcia Mae Jones), the daughter of "Pop" Wallace. On their first haul---Frankie is the driver and Jefferson is the swamper sent along to do the heavy lifting---they have a run-in with the hi-jackers, but escape after a race between the two five-ton trucks. But they aren't as lucky on their second trip as their truck is run off the road and the hi-jackers take them prisoner. Frankie recognizes the assailants as drivers for a rival trucking firm.
Meanwhile, George Lee (Keye Luke), Chinese undercover agent for the insurance company that is covering Wallace's claims, has learned that Wallace is working with Ray Saunders (Irving Mitchell), division superintendent for the insurance company. Saunders has a hold over Wallace and his forcing him to participate against his will.
Frankie and Jefferson, after a knock-down battle, escape for the hi-jacker's garage in a stolen truck---it was already a stolen truck before they stole it to make a get-away---and return to Wallace's garage to find him slugged and unconscious. Frankie and Jefferson decide to get the evidence that will clear Wallace before the police move in. Frankie, Jefferson, "Chick" and Patsy break into the hi-jacker's stronghold, but are captured by Saunders' men. Saunders has the foursome loaded into a truck and driven out into the country-side and killed.
Things look bleak indeed but the driver, as was the wont for muggs driving vehicles out into the country-side loaded with potential victims, breaks the speed limit and is soon being chased by motorcycle cops.
