Synopsis:
While typing several physics equations for a college professor, secretary Joanie Swift reads some of the formulas aloud. Parts of two equations contain Johnny’s magic speed formula giving Joanie super-speed. Joanie gets into trouble at first trying to control her speed, but despite Johnny’s wishes, she continues to use it to assist him. Finally after being frightened by a mouse, Joanie passes out and the formula wears off. Not having bothered to memorize the formula, Joanie can’t restore her powers.
