Mrs. Armitage on Wheels

Inventor extraordinaire Mrs. Armitage and faithful dog Breakspear love adventurous hobbies like skydiving, until an accident dents Mrs. Armitage’s confidence. Recovered, she plans a short cycling trip, but keeps putting it off adapting her bike with horns, a tool kit, and even a sail! The ‘land yacht’ eventually launches, but a further accident leaves Mrs. Armitage doubly nervous. Luckily, her Uncle Cosmo comes to the rescue gifting Mrs. Armitage his old car and getting her finally back on the road!
