Subject Matter
Genres: crime
Synopsis: A reckless driver likes being the 'road hog' so much he designs mirrors to magnify the expressions of his motorist victims. A hitchhiker scolds him and tells him someday he’ll meet a bigger hog than himself. The man doubts this, as he considers himself the biggest. During a test run of his mirror system, he sees a huge hog just about to turn the corner. He veers to miss it and runs into a tree, killing himself. Around the bend, a farmer picks up an ordinary pig that had wandered into the road and claims that the man must’ve really loved animals in order to die just to avoid hitting this pig.
