The Great Plan (Part 1)



When winning a practice race, Speed Racer is offered a position of team for the Grand Prix race. The company who employed his father, Pops Racer, top engineer, owns the team. Speed declined because he thinks that Pops won't allow him to be pro. Later on, Pops gives up on his plans on improving the Mach 5 when they were rejected. When Pops and Speed are driving on their way home, motorcycle racers come in and snatch the plans. Trixie buzzes them in her helicopter. She drives the gang off and the plans are recovered. Now at the Cyclist Headquarters, Ace Ducey who's a bad guy shows up and makes a deal to get back the plans for 5,000 clams. Confronting Pops, he leaves empty handed. Pops hid the designs on a spare Mach 5 windshield using invisible ink.

Making a decision to sell the Mach 5 in order for Pops to rebuild the engine, Speed makes a visit to Sparky, who suggests that Speed should enter the Sword Mountain Race for a $5,000 prize. Taking out the Mach 5 for a road test, Dirty Driver Duggery rams the car, causing Speed to throw a wheel and crash. Back at the garage, the car is repaired. Now the race begins: Ace and his gang go after the Mach 5 where the designs is hidden. Speed guesses where the plans are hidden and avoids getting his tires shredded by Ace's gang by hitting the auto jack button. The Mach 5 is propelled over the guardrail.
