A lighthearted silent comedy short where Chaplin's Tramp character playfully disrupts a newsreel cameraman filming a children's auto race, built entirely on physical comedy and mischievous charm.

The Tramp interferes with the celebration of several kid auto races in Venice, California (Junior Vanderbilt Cup Race, January 10 and 11, 1914), standing himself in the way of the cameraman who is filming the event.
