Quincy Magoo goes to take his "frail" little mother for a drive in the country. He considers her to be such a gentle soul, needing his attention. As he approaches, she is working on a hot rod, with a big ten cylinder engine. Magoo, with his challenging eyesight, mistakes the car for a washing machine. When it doesn't "work" properly, he begins to try to fix it, much to his mother's chagrin. She wants it in tip-top shape for a race she is going to in a few days, and she is afraid that Magoo is going to wreck the car. He smacks it with wrenches and tries driving it under water. Magoo believes that what he is doing is right, of course, and there is a satisfactory conclusion.
