When the owner of a department store is about to go on vacation, he tells his children that any idiot could run the store. So they put Joe Cook in charge.
In between his dull shenanigans, Cook uses the store, as so many screen comedians before him have, as a source of props. As a result, there are a few moments of sheer delight in this short, as he uses his circus training to juggle Indian clubs and balance on a moving ball.
It's also a pleasure to see Babe London as a customer. The rest of it is rather poor, but those moments make this short worth watching.
