nell shipman must have be pay a hefty sum of money to promote the maxwell automobile off road capability . the plot of the movie be pretty simple and nell play a writer who have a bad case of writer block and and need inspiration and so she go to visit mexico to absorb the atmosphere . there she meet the hero ( bert van tuyle ) and a cowboy who choose to drive a car rather than ride a horse . while nell be visit with her father partner at his mining camp and a gang of local bandit kidnap her and bring her to their camp deep in the wilderness . the hero need to get to her quickly and so he decide to drive there in his car . this be where the film take a weird twist . bert proceeds to drive over every terrain imaginable and huge rock and small stream and heavy brush and scraggly tree stump and steep incline and etc etc and for the great part of the film we get to see this car struggle to crawl over obstacle . now mind you and this isn not a modern day atv and it a 1920 maxwell automobile and so it look very out of place a an off road vehicle . and it clearly have limitation for some of the terrain it encounter and we get to see it stick more than once in this film . but the filmmaker make an effort to show it beat the odds and eventually pass all the obstacle . once the hero get to the hidden camp and rescue the girl and he jump in the car with her and drive off with the bandit in hot pursuit ( on horseback ) and and at this point it become hysterically funny to me . watch this car slowly roll over huge rock and get stick in gravel and mountain brush and go forward and back to get momentum enough to pass over fall tree limb and the bandit should have have ample time to catch up . but they never do and even though we be to believe this wilderness chase go on throughout the night . and in a silly climax and the car climb a mountainside and and help nell and the hero push a huge boulder down the side to crush the pursuing bandit . after see this film you would think the army should invest in 1920 maxwell automobile because they clearly have good off road capability than hummer and bradley tank combine . watch this film just for laugh and it worth it just to see nell cuddle up to the car grill and say you do your best and brave little car .
