The Timid Terror Synopsis

Talbot Trent and Howard Cramm, office workers, both love Dorothy Marvin, secretary to the president of the firm; but Trent, a bashful, unassuming type, feels inferior because he does not own a roadster. Like Cramm, Trent aspires to be an out-of-town manager, but when the latter approaches the president, Amos Milliken, he is gruffly told that he is not energetic enough for the job. A friend of Trent's, knowing his desire for a car, gives him a taxicab, but Dorothy is displeased with the use of the taxi as a private car. Trent approaches Milliken again about the promotion and is fired; reckless and defiant, he decides to bully Milliken, and during a wild and furious taxi ride, he convinces him that he has both energy and initiative; as a result, he wins the position and Dorothy.
