Summary
A cross-country trip with Buster Keaton starring as "the railrodder." In one of the last films of his career, Buster Keaton crosses North America from east to west on a railway track speeder. Not a word is spoken throughout the film, but the comedian's sight gags evoke his classic silent work.
