Telling jokes is a way of life for this worker who seems to want to entertain himself as much as the riders on his train. In this short documentary, Miller succeeds in allowing Harry Nugent to emerge as a noble warrior, fighting off his boredom and creating a unique space for himself in which to perform. Nugent truly embraces life and his enthusiasm becomes contagious.
