Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJohnny Weissmuller did own a Duesenburg Model J, so one may assume this was his personal car in this short.
- GoofsThe gas station attendant asks the driver pulling Kokomo's trailer if he can sneak a peek at the steer. The driver dissuades him by saying that if the door were opened, "Kokomo would kick the sides out of this here trailer", and the attendant leaves to get change. The girls then are shown sneaking into the trailer's side door, which is on the driver's side of the trailer. A scene cut shows the attendant returning along the driver's side of the trailer. and he gives the driver his change. The camera view then switches back to the girls completing their entry and closing the door. Therefore, the station attendant had to have walked past the girls getting into the trailer and should have alerted them to the dangerous steer, or he at least should have told the driver about the hitchhikers.

[first lines]
Sally: [sitting on the side of the road and eating finger foods while sullenly trying to hitchhike] Gee, the folks back in Kokomo sure will laugh when we get home from our vacation two weeks ahead of time.
Mary: Don't worry, it'll be over by the time we get back.
[standing up as another car passes by]
Mary: Maybe we can hitch a ride if our thumbs hold out long enough.
Sally: Oh, men aren't interested in thumbs, silly. Say, I saw Claudette Colbert hitch a ride in a movie once like this.
[hikes up her skirt hem to show her leg and instantly a man in a passing car stops]
Sally: See, it worked.
Mary: Bet there's a hitch to it.
Sally: [bubbly, as she and Mary climb in the car] We're going to Komomo!
Mary: Hope it's not out of your way.
[they begin driving]
