A compilation of early automobile clips assembled with a hilarious delivery by Groucho Marx. If you adore automotive history and have the slightest interest in how these contraptions evolved into what they are today, you'll love this documentary. See how the fragile automobile endured the tortuous conditions of the day and how they were reviled instead of loved. Enjoy some of the interesting legislature that supported a public that was resistant to change. See the problems the automobile cured and created in it's infancy and how it went from a rich man's toy to reliable and rugged transportation. Also take short trip into a forgotten past, a rich landscape of long lost Americana to see how merchants once catering to the horse changed forever to spring up into the myriad of gas stations, hotels, tourist destinations, etc. that now permeate American livelihood.
