Four lively girls from West Haven have been whisked away on an unexpected Easter adventure. Their father, ever the planner, has arranged a private motor car—affectionately called the Comet—to ferry them and their friends down to sunny Florida, complete with a chef, a stove, and a stash of violets, candy and the latest magazines. The journey promises new sights, fresh spring hats, and a taste of the exotic, as the girls trade their dreary, mist‑filled hometown for the bright promise of palm‑lined beaches.
As the train rattles toward Palm Beach, the girls settle into plush seats, their excitement bubbling over each time a package arrives. Their spirited banter and the novelty of traveling in such comfort set the stage for a series of light‑hearted escapades, from impromptu races to unexpected friendships. The first leg of their trip hints at the freedom and mischief that await, inviting listeners to join the Motor Maids as they discover the joys and challenges of a carefree southern getaway.
