Roaring Speedboats is the TV title for the inexpensive 1937 indie Mile a Minute Love. William Bakewell stars as an inventor who develops a high-powered boat engine. Bakewell, of course, created this wonder machine to benefit mankind-and, incidentally, to win an upcoming motorboat race. But a group of crooks don't see things his way, thus they sabotage his invention. Peeking through the miles of speedboat stock footage are such reliable actors as Duncan Renaldo, Vivien Oakland and Wilfred Lucas. PS: Future "Cisco Kid" Renaldo also penned the original story.
