Excuse My Dust is a 1951 musical comedy film starring Red Skelton.

Amateur inventor Joe Belden has his Indiana hometown in a tizzy over his new "horseless carriage" in 1895.

It runs on gasoline, but the townspeople aren't impressed and only Joe's mom and his sweetheart Liz Bullitt are supportive.

Mechanical breakdowns make Joe even more unpopular with some, including Liz's father, who prefers his daughter's other suitor, Ivy Leaguer Cyrus Ransom, Jr. A $5,000 first prize in a road race attracts newfangled contraptions from all over the land.
