Set against the backdrop of the burgeoning automobile culture of the 1920s, the film follows the misadventures of a young couple as they embark on a cross-country road trip from New York to California.
Reginald Denny portrays Jimmy Duncan, a naive and optimistic young man who dreams of making it big in California. Alberta Vaughn plays his sweetheart, Betty Lee, who agrees to accompany him on his journey westward. Along the way, they encounter a series of comedic obstacles and eccentric characters, including bumbling highway patrol officers, conniving con artists, and lovestruck admirers.

While "California Straight Ahead" may not be as well-known as other silent film classics, it remains a delightful and enjoyable comedy that captures the spirit of adventure and optimism that defined the Roaring Twenties.
