Synopsis

Dooley had real money no one would accept in a world of charge-it cards. All he wanted was to manage family affairs with lawful money. But automated banks had none, nor did our Federal Reserve System, in his world of charge-it shopping. So he's off to lobby his senator, has a sterile overnight in a Nevada brothel, is given a free flight to Denver, hitchikes a truck trip to Chicago, starts to Washington but arrives in New York, and only reaches the senator a few minutes after Congress repealed use of our currency as lawful legal tender. All this and more in Dooley's world of charge-it cards and automated banking where no one remembers genuine Federal Reserve notes. The story of a tomorrow.....that's near today.
