The Great Race

Summary

In the early 1900s, the dashing hero the Great Leslie proposes a New York-to-Paris automobile race to showcase a new car. His rival, the villainous Professor Fate, schemes to sabotage him at every turn, while a determined suffragette reporter joins the race to prove women belong behind the wheel. The contestants careen across the American West, a melting ice floe, and a Ruritanian kingdom in a sprawling slapstick adventure.
