Susie is a small blue coupe on display in a dealer's showroom who is bought by a well-to-do man who is taken with her.
Thrust into high-society, she finds herself surrounded by much larger, more luxurious cars but eventually makes do. She is pampered but time takes its toll on her, mechanically and cosmetically; eventually, her owner trades her in.
A second man buys her but her new life is much less pampered, being left outside in the cold and being poorly-maintained.
One night, she is stolen, chased by the police and totalled in the resulting wreck. Rotting in a junkyard, all looks hopeless for Susie when a young man notices her, buys her, and with the help of his friends, completely restores and revives her into a brand new hot-rod.
