Synopsis

The cartoon shows how the character, as the pleasant, friendly, and good-natured "Mr. Walker", undergoes a change in personality to the belligerent "Mr. Wheeler" when he gets behind the wheel of his car. Mr. Wheeler is self-centered, inconsiderate, and borderline violent. Upon reaching his destination in town (we are not shown the character's reason for traveling) and leaving his automobile, he reverts to the mild-mannered Mr. Walker, whereupon he is the victim of other motorists' unsafe (and sometimes even predatory) driving habits. However, once he returns to his car, he becomes Mr. Wheeler again, seeking to impose his own will upon traffic, to the point of blaming the tow truck that hauls him away for his slow pace after an auto accident.
