Joe Machin, an American racedriver determined to win at any cost, wins the Grand Prix de Monaco through reckless driving. Wherever competition takes him, Joe becomes involved in extramarital affairs, using his unwitting brother, Robert, to divert the suspicions of his wife, Sesia. Meanwhile, racer turned writer Steve Children arrives in Monte Carlo to meet his girl friend, Monique, and sees her in an emotional scene with Joe, with whom she has had an affair. Steve decides to write a book exposing Joe and his tactics on and off the track. He arranges to meet Joe and accompany him to Belgium, where another Grand Prix is to take place. When they return to England, Steve's plan is revealed to Joe. In a race at Aintree, the two men participate in a personal grudge match, but when Steve's car swerves wildly, Joe has a change of heart and spins his car to avoid hurting Steve, thus sustaining serious injuries. At the hospital Steve meets Joe's brother, who explains that Joe's outward bravado hides a sensitive and confused personality. Later, Steve finds Joe considerably changed, and their friendship becomes a lasting one.
