Summary "Trolley Folly" by Henry Wallace Phillips is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Jimmie Horgan, a carefree young man working as a motorman for the Suburban Trolley Company, who unexpectedly discovers he has inherited five thousand dollars from a long-lost uncle. With this newfound fortune comes a sense of ambition and a desire to break free from the ordinary, leading him and his conductor friend Tommie to take their trolley car on an adventure that quickly spirals into a series of comedic mishaps. The beginning of the novel introduces Jimmie's character and established context by highlighting his reckless yet cheerful demeanor as he navigates life on the trolley while managing a comedic blend of irony and cynicism. After learning of his unexpected inheritance, Jimmie shares the news with Tommie, and together they decide to abandon their usual routes and explore the city with a sense of newfound freedom. Their journey quickly turns chaotic, with their trolley car becoming emblematic of their desire to defy convention and break free from societal constraints, culminating in humorous encounters with passengers and the challenges of running a trolley service unpredictably.
