He gets into an auto accident while having a fit and it is assumed he was killed by himself. When he revives in the rapidly oxygen-depleting coffin, he first tries to phone his wife, then his brother, and finally his doctor, all without success. Finally, he tries to dial the operator, but unfortunately for him, it is December 7, 1941, and all circuits are busy!

Synopsis: A salesman has the bad luck to break down outside the home of a deranged old couple who cover him with a shotgun as they show him their refrigerator, stove, vacuum cleaner, grandfather clock, and television set that they made sure worked by testing it out on the body of each device's respective salesman. The man asks him "What do you sell?" and he replies "It's out in the car" while the old woman covers him with the shotgun. The old man goes to get it and he tells the woman "You don't want what I sell" and offers to pay anything to be released but she just waits for her husband to return with the device, a handy-dandy meat cutter...
