Excuse My Dust

Joe Belden (Red Skelton) is an enterprising, if eccentric, inventor who is determined to perfect his latest project -- an automobile that runs on gasoline. Supported by his girlfriend, Liz Bullitt (Sally Forrest), Joe finds that most of his friends and neighbors think that his efforts are absurd. Circumstances result in a misunderstanding between Joe and Liz, a situation that may hinder him in a big upcoming auto race. Can Joe and Liz reconcile in time for the competition?
