Mind Over Motor (1923)

Ellis (Larry Steers), a race promoter induces Tish (Trixie Friganza), an "automaniac," to finance innocently a motor race. Jasper McCutcheon (Ralph Graves), Tish's friend, is about to win the race when Ellis' paid cohorts force him out. Informed by the sheriff that she will be jailed for conspiracy unless an outsider wins the race, Tish jumps in a car and drives to victory.
