The story

At the start of the film, Malcolm is working for the Metropolitan Transit Authority (then operator of Melbourne's trams). Malcolm, who has autism (see "Development & Production" section below), is obsessed with trams, but he is also a mechanical genius whose modest inner-city cottage is fitted with a variety of remarkable gadgets. When his boss (Bud Tingwell) discovers that Malcolm has built himself a cut-down tram during work time and using work materials, and has taken it out on the tracks, Malcolm is sacked.
