La grande corsa

La storia

Agli inizi del 1900 due uomini, Leslie, un galante ed inappuntabile gentiluomo, ed il professore Fate, una mente ingegnosa ma diabolica, si stanno battendo in mille modi per aggiudicarsi il primato sportivo automobilistico. Leslie, sicuro di battere l'avversario, induce il direttore di un giornale americano ad organizzare un lunghissimo raid da New York a Parigi per ogni tipo di automobile. Il giovane vi prende parte con una vettura lussuosissima, tutta bianca, con maniglie in ottone e foderata di cuoio rosso, mentre il diabolico Fate, dopo aver costruito un'automobile nera capace di sollevarsi di due metri dal suolo per mezzo di un elevatore a pantografo e dotata di cannoncino, di pungiglione e di apparecchi per produrre cortine fumogene, vi partecipa con il fido Carmelo, come lui pronto ad usare qualsiasi mezzo.
