Before he has gone very far one of the tires goes flat and he pulls up to a service station to get some free air, but through a mistake he hooks up with a pipe line from tanks filled with helium gas. The tires on his car assume balloon-like proportions and the old flivver takes a notion to ride among the clouds. Lige has a tough time until he discovers the cause of the flivver's antics and then he pries off the tires and comes back to earth. Arriving in Hollywood he hunts up a studio but finds that it is easier to get into the mint than into a modern movie factory. The gateman is so tough that he even keeps his shadow outside and Lige is kicked out so often he feels like a football. Just as he is about to give up, he trades places with an actor and enters the studio where he is promptly beaten up as part of a big mob scene. Lige wanders among the stages and when he gets mixed up with Lloyd Hamilton there are many funny things happen to him. He finally is hired as a property boy and is given a can of powder to distribute on a movie battlefield, but he leaves a trail through the studio and when the powder is touched off it blows up everything in its path. To escape from the angry studio people. Lige takes refuge in an airplane which is to be shot down by anti-aircraft guns. When he gets high enough the guns start and the plane is soon riddled. Lige retains his hold on the wings and soars over his old home into which he drops just as his father is praying for his safe return. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
