Push, the millionaire auto manufacturer, offers $10,000 reward to the inventor of a substitute for gasoline," says the newspaper story. It requires but a few seconds' thought for Ham to find a substitute, and fortunately for him the daughter of the auto magnate passes at the moment. Her ninety-cylinder car suddenly comes to a stop and she discovers that it is out of gasoline. Ham puts his substitute to work, which consists of nothing else than having Bud push the car, unknown to Ethel. The following day Ham is in strong favor with Gettout N. Push and his daughter as arrangements are made for the official test. All goes well, even though the car does do some weird stunts when it strikes a hilly section and gets beyond Bud's control, until the latter, pushing valiantly, falls down a manhole. Then the deception is discovered. Ham's rescue of Bud from the water main is shown in the finish. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
