Synopsis

Harry falls in love with the woman pictured on a billboard and enters a cross-country walking race in the hope of winning enough money to marry her. The journey tests a competitor whose innocence often protects him from recognizing the danger around him, even when the race approaches a spectacularly chaotic finish.
