"Interesting little short subject has Welles playing himself during a break from his tortuous shooting of "Othello".

Note when the stranded motorist says he has trouble with his distributor, and Orson Welles ironically, and maybe sarcastically, says he also has trouble with his distributor as well - meaning film distributor.
