Synopsis
Foxy is a trolley engineer, whose problems include an obese lady hippo who can't fit into the trolley and a set of wheels that detach from the trolley car while it's moving. Foxy picks up his vixen girlfriend and gives her a ride, but then the car is blocked by a cow who won't get off the track. A group of nearby hobos sing the title song while Foxy tries to move the cow; he finally runs the car underneath the cow and goes on his way.

The trolley then goes down a hill and runs out of control; Foxy tries to stop it, but the brakes don't work. The trolley runs off of a cliff, throwing Foxy right into the camera... and then he wakes up from what turned out to be just a dream, making the events of the cartoon fanon. The radio by his bed is playing the title song, but Foxy smashes it with a bedpost.
