“I go on a head” (superimposed over a display of women’s hats). Titles (superimposed over woman dragging her husband into a hat shop): “with Elaine Barrack as The Wife, John Lovell as The Husband”.
A woman [Elaine Barrack] trying on hats at a milliner’s shop, looking delighted as the saleswoman makes suggestions. Husband looks flabbergasted, laughs with delight when a hat is far too big for the woman. Husband is appalled at prices and looks at watch in frustration and starts up conversation with a mannequin. Woman makes fish faces at a gold fish. The wife finally settles on a lamp shade and they depart happy.
