They will all laugh and scream when they see it. The plot is so new, so fresh, so untouched, and the idea of it is so comic, that it is almost a mistake to even hint at the absurdly funny scenes the picture depicts. There is, however, one thing it seems right to tell, the story is the dream of a motor fiend. He dreams that his auto is fitted with a "joy meter," and that all speed limits have been eliminated. What is a "joy meter" you all want to know, and we suppose we must tell you this so that you can have an idea of what the picture is about. A "joy meter" consists of various dials or indicators arranged on an attachment that fits to the front of any motor, and that indicates the number of men, women, policemen, dogs, hens, or mothers-in-law that you may happen to run over. It is most accurate in its work, but in order to understand it properly you must see the film, which gives a most vivid and graphic idea of its operation.
