Plot
In the film, Mickey was told by the professor that the paddle steamer needed to get to 99mph. Mickey asked if that was relative to the shore or water. The scientist then said that he didn't know. At the end of the film, Mickey was on the paddle boat as it went onto land before traveling in time.
