Roger the Lodger Ends Yellowstone Trip in Car Wreck
Roger, living with Mr and Mrs Roberts, takes over the household, drives the Roberts car, invites officers for rationed food, and even ferries Major and Mrs Drummond to Yellowstone. The car is battered with a broken speedometer, sun visor, hub cap, muffler, window, and two tires stolen. A firefighter-like mishap reveals Roger’s stubborn vanity and childlike fragility as he improvises gadgets, argues with workers, and scrambles to fix a ruined vehicle. The Drummonds depart by bus, while Roger clumsily clutches hope for an OCS appointment, failing to impress Drummond.
