Veteran truck drivers Dick Benson and Alf Higgins are fired by their crooked boss, Arthur Wilson, for insubordination. Their oId pal, Tony SpinelIi, puts up stake money, and he and Dick form their own trucking company. The talented drivers find great success and the Spinelli-Benson Company is soon draining business away from WiIson's company. WiIson strikes back by sending his beautiful daughter, Ruth, to seduce and distract Dick, while dispatching goons to sabotage his rival's trucks. A series of mysterious accidents sends SpineIIi-Benson hurtIing toward bankruptcy. ln a Iast ditch effort to save the company, they take on a nearly impossibIe contract of hauling pumping equipment through impassable fog on dangerous mountain roads, in an attempt to save trapped miners.
