wonderful opportunity to display his
ability. He takes the part of Terry
OToole, young Irishman just ar
rived from his native country, bent
on fame and fortune.
With ready smile and willing
hand, Terry, harboring such lofty
ideals as becoming traffic cop and
perhaps motorman on the street
car, finds his way into Loteda, Ohio,
where he applies for job as motor
man. He is hired, dons the blue uni
form and brass buttons. and proudly
takes his car out for his run.
His adventures are many and varied,
but without exception the most laugh
provoking ever encountered. He
whites away his time flirting with
ladies, fighting mon and collecting
fares on the car.
He is assisted by such well known
players as Doris May, Dorothy Burns.
