A Los Angeles dog named Muggina reportedly owns a real automobile built by his owner from odds and ends. The car features rubber tires lights a clock-spring engine and a steering wheel. Muggina sits in the seat and rides up to 40 miles at a time without whimpering or trying to exit, strapped on the large car’s tool chest.
A sergeant named Spudhole ends a weary leave with peers in a muddy trench. He bonds with Tom Green, learns his comrade’s child is ill, and battles bureaucratic delays that threaten his own return to duty as the date slips past. Spudhole vows to endure and keep spirits up.
