A used car salesman buys a car that dooms him to tell only the truth!
Every show, no matter how successful, fires a few blanks. This is one of them. It's about a used car salesman/dealer who finds himself with a car that forces him to tell the truth. Of course, the truth is the end of his business as he drives customer after customer away. It also affects his personal life. This is an interesting premise that has carried through to modern movies. The thing that dooms this one is when it gets into topical politics. Not only have we lost our connection (unless you're as old as I am), but the whole conclusion is so far fetched that it is beyond reasonable belief. There is also a talky lack of a spark here. It sort of drones on.
