Clear the tracks! In this fast‑paced comedy, Vernon Praiseworthy—a well‑meaning but bumbling heir—must honor his late uncle’s will by riding the rails as a penniless hobo, just as his uncle did during the Depression. Accompanied by a locomotive, a mischievous dog and a hapless sidekick named Tim, his adventure quickly turns chaotic when he becomes entangled in a dog‑napping plot. Written by Jerry Roberts.
