Rudy Franklyn tells Bill,
"This car is a hard luck devil so watch out for cops and
women." |
|
Aunt Abbie looks suspiciously
at the stranger (Bill) who has offered to light their campfire
at the roadside campground. |
|
Bill can't understand why
Aunt Abbie doesn't want him around Doris. What he doesn't know
is that she saw a photo of the car in the newspaper and thinks
Bill is the rich, ladies' man who always stays in trouble with
"cops and women" - that is, Rudy Franklyn. |
|
"Why don't you enter that
car in the big race?" the garage owner asks Bill. The $10,000
first prize would solve all of Bill's and Doris' problems. |
|
To get the entrance fee for
the race, Bill challenges Sailor Sheldon at the local carnival.
If he can last two rounds with the pugilist, he wins $200. |
|
Bill sees the old man who
stole his wallet out on the road while he was changing a tire.
When a cop sees Bill taking his wallet back, he thinks Bill is
robbing the old man. |
|
"The police are watching
you, too, so don't try and leave town," Mrs. Hunt, the landlady,
tells Doris and Aunt Abbie. "You'll pay up by tomorrow or
find yourselves in jail!" |
|
Because Bill owes for his
hotel bill, the Constable must keep a close eye on the car, which
is Bill's only collateral. So, the Constable rides along in the
race - and tells Bill, "Gosh, I ain't had a thrill like
this since my old woman bobbed her hair!" |
|
Bill runs off the road into
an embankment to avoid hitting a little girl who walked into
the road. "The gears are stripped," he laments. Now
he can't finish the race - or can he? |
|
A kiss, and all ends well! |
