Stranded

In the dusty, high-stakes world of 1920s transport rivalry, Edna Marion stars as a bus driver with more hustle than her competition. When a troupe of theatrical performers—the Century Follies Girls—finds themselves marooned at a depot, a cutthroat competition erupts between Marion and a rival driver to secure their patronage. Marion wins the skirmish, leading the troupe to a local hotel where she doesn't just drive; she operates as the cook, clerk, and cleaning staff. The narrative shifts from a road race to a domestic farce as the troupe's 'undress rehearsals' turn the hotel into a voyeuristic spectacle. However, the comedy takes a sharp turn into a frantic pursuit when the actors attempt to skip out on their bill, leading to a physical showdown where luggage becomes the ultimate collateral in a battle of economic survival.
