The railroad magnate comes
to Pop's house to try and buy his line. Pop writes down a price
of $10,000 and hands it to Speedy. Speedy changes the $10,000
to $70,000 and hands it to the magnate who is appalled and vows
to get the rail line one way or another. |
|
During their day at Coney
Island, Speedy is involved in one mishap after another. When
he looks in one of the funny mirrors, he realizes he had leaned
against a newly painted fence earlier and got paint all over
his brand new suit. |
|
Broke after a day at Coney
Island, Speedy hitches a ride back with a friend who has a moving
van. He rearrages the furniture in the back so that it looks
like a very "homey" living room complete with fireplace
for him and Ann. |
|
After a wild ride through the streets
of New York, Speedy finally delivers Babe Ruth to Yankee Stadium
- who then tells him, "If I ever want to commit suicide,
I'll call you." |
|
Pop's streetcar is used as
a gathering place for all of the old tradesmen in the neighborhood
each night. However, Speedy tells them, "I'm not so sure
that you'll have the car to play in very long. I got a tip that
there's a tough gang coming down to take Pop's car." With
that, all of the old men vow to help Speedy fight the gang when
that happens. |
|
The thugs do try to take
over the car, and the old men come to the rescue with a wild
melee in the streets. |
|
Speedy finds the car that
the thugs had stolen the night before. However, city regulations
say the car must run at least once every 24 hours or Pop loses
the line. With only minutes left, Speedy races the car back to
the line - with the addition of the gang in hot pursuit. The
dummy dressed as a policeman helps him get past the cops. |
|
Unfortunately, he slams one
corner of the car into a steel support for the city's el. He
must fix a broken wheel quickly if he's going to make it in time. |
|
Speedy gets the car back
in time, and the railroad magnate realizes his thugs were unsuccessful
in their efforts to stop the streetcar from running. He now agrees
to the $70,000 price. However, Speedy tells him, "Pop's
slightly deaf and he can't hear a word you say - till you get
up to a hundred thousand." |
|
Speedy kisses Ann, and just
as the railroad magnate looks their way, the dummy cop thumbs
his nose at him. |
