The Short[]
Plot: According to Motion Picture News: "The gang is revealed as a band of inventors, of which Jay is the leader. Young Wheezer is his assistant and between them they contrive an automobile of unusual construction, built along the lines of a submarine.
"There are eight portholes in this car which has ample room for the gang, and it is self-locking. When they are all within, Wheezer takes the occasion to step on it, and there starts one of the wildest rides ever successfully navigated. Wheezer proves himself a wizard at driving, and the car plunges through all sorts of traffic, while the gang with heads through portholes wonders just when the crash is coming.
"On plunges the car through hair-raising episodes until a motor cop jumps on the running board and gives it a temporary halt. As he is writing out the ticket, Wheezer steps on it and makes his getaway."
