Summary:
"Hank Armstrong, an essentially old-fashioned man, is a lover of horses and resents the new invention of the 'horseless carriage' for which his son, Bob, has a particular fondness. When his son takes an interest in automobile racing, Hank disowns him and tinkers with a racing car so that it will explode, not knowing his son is to be the driver. Although Bob is not seriously hurt, Hank is cured of his hatred of automobiles, while Bob wins the love of Rose, the girl of his dreams"--AFI catalog, 1921-1930.
