Ludwig Von Drake invites Goofy, Donald, and Mickey over to test his latest invention, a device called the Future Viewer that enables people to see the future. Von Drake's intentions are to show how the three's lives will be easier in the future, but instead the future's advanced technology makes things worse for them. Goofy is first used to demonstrate how the vehicles of the future will make it easier to get past traffic. Goofy ends up being comically injured when the vehicles he tests crash.
