Told in rhyme, this tells the story of Gerald McCloy who cannot speak - he just makes noises - a train, a car, you name it. Doctors can't help and his poor parents are all but driven to distraction. He is excluded from school, his inability to speak robs him of friends and soon he has acquired the eponymous moniker and become a lonely and sad young boy. He runs away and bumps into a man who owns a radio station, and soon is the human equivalent of a sound effects machine - and pretty celebrated at it to! The animation style is quite basic but it moves along quickly with a jolly score and the moral is quite endearing. He gets the last laugh!
