He stops at the stores on Automobile Row and looks the cars over, and when he sleeps he can dream of nothing but speeding in a fine car, and does not awake until struggling in the hands of a bicycle policeman. In anticipation he borrows a friend's car, with the result that in his inexperience it runs away with him through miles of country, and after many incidents that must be seen on the screen to be enjoyed, he is hurled through the air as the machine explodes and falls to the ground severely hurt. Taken home, he is in a few weeks convalescent, when one day Bridget comes and tells him the horseless carriage is in the garage. What sort or make of carriage it was we will not disclose, but it certainly was not what he expected. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
