Synopsis

Shirley Booth opened to rave notices playing a woman with encyclopedic knowledge of facts and figures who works in a television network reference department.

Electronic brains are installed to do the work of people, soon replacing whole departments, but Emmaracs can not best Bunny in a game of wits she causes them to blow fuses.

Here is a telling comedy rich in hilarity for anyone who has ever worked in an office.
