Just as he does every morning, our hero is preparing to jump into his car and head off to work. But the remote control gizmo doesn't work, and the key won't unlock the door! Some helpful passersby suggest several solutions, but our stubborn hero turns a deaf ear. The clock ticks on. His car is driving him nowhere...except around the bend! He rules out taxis, bicycles, busses and hitchhiking. Suddenly, inspiration strikes and our hero finally makes it to work on four wheels! An amusing animated video about city dwellers' obsessive dependence on the automobile. An animated film without words.
