Bill Porter: A salesman drives down a dark country road, completely lost. After a time, he runs out of gas. Luckily there's a farmhouse that's on the road. He goes to the farmhouse and knocks on the door. The farmer's wife comes to the door and says, can I help you? Yes, he says, you can. I've run out of gas and I've lost my way. And she says, you can spend the night, but I don't have a daughter, and you'll have a nice room all to yourself. We don't have any farm animals, and my husband and I are happily married. The salesman looks around confused, and then he turns back to the farmer's wife and he says, oh gosh, I must be in the wrong joke.

This is the story of Bill Porter, a door to door salesman for the Watkins company, who has cerebral palsy. The story takes us from the early 1950's up to the late 1990's and shows us the life of this salesman and all the people who he has met and affected, for over forty years.
Bill is a loveable, funny, caring, and sympathetic character who the viewer cannot help but fall in love with.
The story is well worth seeing and will leave you in tears at times, and laughing right up until the end. I highly recommend this wonderful film.
Viewers hint: Keep your eyes on the tree!
