Charlie and Johnny wander in to do a day's work.
At a signal, they don their buyer and seller suits to play out a hilarious game of trading for a shiny red ball.
Each tries every trick he can devise to outwit the other-- alternately friendly, angry, subtle, doubtful, savage and indifferent.
When the sale is made, they rest for a moment and then trade places to begin again.
