- Walter is the clerk in a mall town radio store and soda fountain. He is a radio fan and amateur inventor and also broadcasts programs. He has rigged up all kinds of inventions which make sodas automatically and sometimes shower the customers when Bill, his rival, jazzes up the controlling apparatus. Walter has also invented an automatic wireless control for a flivver, managed by a small sending box which he handles. When a big man from the city comes to look the invention over, Walter proudly demonstrates out in the street, with the flivver starting and stopping, backing and rounding corners as he pushes in the plugs. The villain, Bill, spitefully mixes up the plugs and the flivver runs away, chasing Walter's sweetheart's father, who is the fire chief, allover the town and doing other strange pranks. Walter and Duane plan an elopement but they do it ill front of the microphone of the broadcasting station and her father sets out in pursuit. Bill gets the flivver controlling box in hi possession and, planting him elf on top of a water tower with a spy glass, surveys the surrounding country and soon gets radio control of the eloper's car. When a Justice of the Peace is about to marry them, he makes the lizzie do strange stunts. The father takes after the young folks in his car and a wild dash across the field follows. While Bill is chuckling with glee from his vantage point on the tower, he gets the plug which puts the flivver in reverse stuck tight in the box and in spite of anything he can do, the flivver with Walter and the girl back with a rush into the tower, dumping the villain unceremoniously in the mud while the wedding goes on.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
