Summary:
It's May of 1903 and Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson is gearing up for the journey of a lifetime: the first road trip across the USA! After a heated debate about the power of "horseless carriages," aka cars, Dr. Jackson accepts a $50 bet that he can make the trip from San Francisco to New York in less than three months. Sure, he doesn't quite know how to drive and no one else has been able to make the trip before him, but Dr. Jackson knows this time will be different.
