A group of enterprising high‑school boys, led by Tom Benton and his friend Willard, buy a decrepit automobile, restore it, and convert it into a small passenger and delivery business. They learn to repair and run the vehicle, recruit partners, and adapt operations as customers, rivals, and local authorities create challenges. Episodes include strikes, mechanical mishaps, daring rides, and negotiations over partnerships and expansion to a motor truck. Through practical problem solving and shifting alliances the youths build the venture, confront setbacks, and ultimately make a decisive change in the vehicle's ownership and future.
