Frankie O'Malley and Jefferson Smith are broke and looking for work. In the help-wanted section of the newspaper they see employment offered at the Overland Transport Company, a hauling firm owned by 'Pop' Wallace. 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 , mechanic at the garage, and by Patsy Wallace, the daughter of 'Pop' Wallace. On their first haul, Frankie is the driver and Jefferson is the helper, they have a run-in with the hijackers, 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 hijackers take them prisoner.
