Jocelyn Pladson buys the livery stable in Skiddy to aid the widow
of the previous owner. Citified newcomers with shady pasts and
newly invented motorcars, Maretta Rudd and J. L. Cochran intend to
replace the livery with a motorcar business. Fools, who ignore too
soon the need for horses and mules in transportation and farm work.
Maretta preaches the livery is smelly, antiquated. J.L. aims for a
seat on town council to bolster their plan. While Jocelyn persuades
others to not vote for him, he arranges a 4th of July celebration
to win votes. A mad dog running through the frightened crowd ends
the festivities early. A horse race J.L. bet a fortune on is
canceled. Rom, the teenage boy Jocelyn took in and raised, offers a
race between his mule and J.L.'s Oldsmobile. The winner? J.L.,
furious, hires hoodlums to demolish Jocelyn's livery, expecting
blame to land on them alone. No dice. Prison for J.L. looms, and
Maretta leaves town. Jocelyn plans to keep the Skiddy property, the
land, for a promising future.
