Businessman Guy Kibbee is having a busy day when salesman Gregory Ratoff walks into his office and tries to sell him a seemingly endless list of goods and services.
It's a comedy bit making fun of the sales technique of the period, and it's interesting because the two actors had long and fruitful careers in the movies. Although Ratoff prospered as a serious actor and director, Kibbee stayed mostly in front of the camera, playing a long series of comedic stuffed shorts, most memorably as part of Warner Brothers' stock company in the 1930s.
It's an amusing short subject, although Bryan Foy shoots it in such a straightforward manner there isn't much to it.
