 A salesman is in the parlor, demonstrating wallpaper samples to the woman of the house. But when Mr. Bumptious comes in and finds out how much it will cost, he sends the salesman away and insists on doing the job himself. He goes to a shop to buy the wallpaper, and with some difficulty he gets it home. He then encounters some trouble while getting the paste ready. But the real problems begin when he starts trying to hang the wallpaper.
