A short comedy about a man who’s car breakdown on a country road. Following a series of strange events involving his car, his investigation of the petrol tank indicates it containing a mischievous tiger that causes the man to run away. The film ends on a bumper sticker that reads, ‘I've Got a Tiger in my Tank'. A car drives along a country road across open moorland coming to a stop beside a stone wall. The driver gets out, opens the bonnet and begins looking over the car engine. At the back of the car a stripped tail wagging and the car boot suddenly opening. The driver closes the bonnet and goes to the back of the car closing the boot after which the bonnet opens apparently by itself. Going back to the front he closes it and again the boot pops open. Going back to the rear of the car he closes the boot again, but this time he opens the petrol cap and looks inside. A look of horror crosses his faces as steps backwards in horror, his shirt covered in red dye. A sticker attached to the rear of the car reads, ‘I’ve Got a Tiger in My Tank’ includes a cartoon image of a smiling tiger. The film ends with the man running off along the country road.
