Chic Sales and. Spencer Charters wander the streets of their town, selling the pies their wives bake. When the competitors meet on the street, Sales spins a vision of a partnership that will control most of American industry in this amusing short subject.
Sales' main shtick in the movies was to make himself up in old-man make-up and play a comic, countrified geezer, often maundering about his service during the Civil War. His presence among the sophisticated stars of MGM may seem odd, but they certainly had a fair number of low-class stars, particularly at the behest of Thalberg. Here's a chance to see Sales, still countrified, but playing his own age of 50. He would die a year later.
