Overview
Professional daredevil and white-suited hero, The Great Leslie, convinces turn-of-the-century auto makers that a race from New York to Paris (westward across America, the Bering Straight and Russia) will help to promote automobile sales. Leslie's arch-rival, the mustached and black-attired Professor Fate vows to beat Leslie to the finish line in a car of Fate's own invention.

Featured Comments/Tips
I never realised how beautiful Natalie Wood was.
I have a little bit of a reverential crush on Ross Martin (the Baron) . The last time I watched this movie, I was probably eight years old and had no clue who he was.
