Reed Howes, former "Arrow Collar Man" turned action hero, stars in Geared to Go as the son of a taxi-company CEO (George Nichols). Upon learning that his father is unfairly stamping out all competition, the young man goes to work for a rival cab firm. Hostilities erupt into violence ere long, and it's up to the son and his sweetheart (Carmelita Geraghty) to smooth things out. Along the way, the star has plenty of opportunities to display his manly physique and considerable athletic prowess. Elements of the plotline of Geared to Go continued to resurface in films throughout the 1930s, notably Jimmy Cagney's 1932 programmer Taxi!
