Bud asks Lou for 50 cents in a variation of their classic routine "Loan Me 50 Dollars". Mr. Fields tells them to get a job to pay their rent. Bud takes Lou to Fields Employment Agency to find him a job. Lou is quickly trained as a vacuum cleaner where he's shown "how easy it is" by demonstrating an overly eager buyer. Naturally, things don't go as smoothly when peddling door-to-door.
Interestingly, this episode aired just ten days before a nearly identical vacuum sales routine aired on the "Sales Resistance" episode of "I Love Lucy".
