Plot Office workers Talbot Trent and Howard Cramm are both in love with Dorothy Marvin, the secretary to the firm's president, Amos Milliken. Trent is shy and insecure, partly because he does not own a car, while Cramm seeks a promotion to become an out-of-town manager. When Cramm asks Milliken for the position, Milliken rejects him, saying he lacks energy. A friend gives Trent a taxicab, but Dorothy is unimpressed by his using it as a private car. Trent later asks Milliken for the promotion but is fired instead. Determined to prove himself, Trent confronts Milliken and takes him on a reckless taxi ride, convincing him of his energy and initiative. Milliken then gives Trent the managerial position, and Trent wins Dorothy's affection.
