If he had not been gulping down coffee he would not have run down the pedestrian who causes all his subsequent troubles. But he did run down the man and the latter, seeking to buy a new suit, encounters Andy in the department store, where he is a clerk. He attempts to fit the irate one to a suit but, his identity being established, Andy takes to flight throughout the department store. Finally he takes refuge in a show window where a bedroom set with dummies is being shown. Followed there by Min, with their fight watched by a crowd outside the window in the street, you can imagine for yourself just what the poor simp has to go through. The requisite number of vases are broken over his head and a sufficiently energetic rough house staged to satisfy the store window spectators.
