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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lavish, slapstick spectacle that treats an impossible cross-continental car race as an excuse for elaborate comedy set pieces and romantic escapades. It's pure cinematic showmanship, earnest in its commitment to the gag, absurd in scale, and genuinely delightful.
