September, 1890. Ed is the town kook, predicting that people will fly in motorized box kites, someday there will be prohibition, and that the horseless carriage he'll be racing at the county fairgrounds that day will go faster than 15 miles an hour. Trouble is, his predictions lead town folk to think he's unbalanced, and the mayor and city council have taken it upon themselves to protect society from Ed's "violence." They call at his house to remove him to a sanatorium. Can Ed, with some help from his daughter's fiancé, elude his pursuers long enough to get his car going in the race? If so, what then - is 15 MPH a possibility, and can Ed fight city hall?
