What do the cable cars of San Francisco get up to when no one is around?
Charlie the cable car is sixty years old and is rather tired of the same old rut. One night as he’s puffing himself up Nob Hill, he hears a lot of excitement down below: Chinese New year! Suddenly, Charlie takes a right turn at Jackson Street, rather than the left he has taken for sixty years, and he finds himself in the middle of the parade. There he meets a friendly dragon named Chu Chin Chow, who is bored with his job. Charlie treats Chu to a cable car ride. But before long it looks as if they’re headed straight for the waters of San Francisco Bay!!!
