Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Agnes Ayres stars as Muriel Gray in the lightning-paced comedy Heart Raider. Described in an introductory title as "a speed girl," Muriel proves this assertion true as she chases after her wealthy boyfriend John Dennis (Mahlon Hamilton). Meanwhile, Muriel's father Reginald Gray (Frazer Coulter) is forced to take out an insurance policy, covering any damage wrought by his daughter in her zany pursuit of Dennis. The insurance company really has its hands full whenever the heroine gets behind the wheel of a roadster or speedboat. Such were the vagaries of Hollywood that, within 10 years after the release of Heart Raider, both of its leading players would be scrounging around for bit parts.
