Jazz age youngster Smoke Thatcher "borrows" a neighbor's car to take Patsy, his sweetheart, to a dance after his father refuses to lend him his car. A car-fight with a rival results in the borrowed automobile's being so wrecked that Smoke cannot return it. The garage to which he and Patsy take the car for repair turns out to be actually a gang's hideaway and a place where stolen cars are brought and later fenced. The gangsters compel Smoke, accompanied by Patsy, to drive a getaway car, promising enough money to replace the neighbor's car...
A story of reckless youth, "Walking Back" mixes drama, comedy and automotive mayhem, starting with a bumper-car battle between Smoke and his rival, then climaxing with a chase through city streets with the viewer getting a harrowing driver's-eye view of the action!
