""Speedy" is also Lloyd's sobriquet in real life, and in this Ted Wilde directed picture, his boater-wearing, spectacles-sporting Speedy is a fervent baseball fan and a happy-go-lucky guy who cannot hold his jobs, The one-day merrymaking in Coney Island with his sweetheart Jane (Christy) is a jubilant occasion of location-shooting that goes swimmingly like an assortment of petit fours, which has nothing to do with the rest of the story.
Baseball and speeding are the meat of Speedy's short stint as a taxi driver, he gets to meet his hero, Babe Ruth has a cameo playing himself, and bollix up his job too, also convenient enough to overhear some jiggery-pokery associated with Pop Dillon (Woodruff), Jane's grandfather, who rides the last horse-drawn streetcar in NYC, whose car line sinister businessman W. S. Wilton (Douglas) intends to obtain underhandedly."
