What happens

Charles and Almanzo go into the freight business together, but the two men can't agree on how to run it. They end up racing each other by different routes, determined to prove who's right.

Both make costly mistakes along the way, and Charles picks up a hitchhiker who has nothing good to say about anyone. A comic father-in-law and son-in-law story.
