Synopsis:
Joe Parry is being harassed by his wife for lending money to his feckless friend, Dai German. He is sent to retrieve the cash, but returns instead with a mirror. To avoid more scorn, he convinces his wife it's a revolutionary dieting aid, and a few minutes in front of the mirror can remove pounds. While she sits in front of it, he fiddles the scales to give the correct result, and it's not long before all the local women are dropping in to check out the rumour. Meanwhile Joe has brought Dai round to sort the problem before the truth comes to light - but the result is a confrontation which ends with the mirror in shards... with an unexpected revelation. |
