 Wearing a dowdy robe and slippers, an aging Ethel shuffles to the door to answer the knock of a young man who s there to see a sofa she s selling. As Ethel drones on and on about her wealthy son who s bought her a new sofa, the young man figures out that she s blind and looks around for things he might lift. He hears her talking about a new expensive suit her son has bought, sees it on a hanger, and proceeds to change into it as Ethel s monologue continues. He leaves without buying the sofa, but Ethel may get the last laugh.
