Newly married Frank and Betty are due to move into their new flat, but are currently living with Betty's mother, Mrs. Fisher. Betty has bought Frank a new briefcase for his impending job interview at Lewis & Co.'s ironmongers for the position of area sales manager. With Betty's advice of remembering to smile, Frank turns up at his interview later than expected, after getting stuck in a lift. When he finally meets the general manager, Mr. Lewis, he causes him a lot of frustration. By the end of the interview, Mr. Lewis is on the verge of a breakdown, but Frank feels that he has made an impression.
