It was just a matter of time before Tom Bacon's father gave him the boot. After graduating from F&M, Tom is sent off to live with his Uncle Jerry, a door-to-door vacuum-cleaner salesman. Tom is a Green Room boy while his uncle is blue collar. Tom learns that selling is a LOT more P.T. Barnum than Shakespeare. Tom's secret passion is drawing cartoons, teenie-weenie ones in the corners of books, which furthers his selling career a lot less than his youth and peculiar sense of humor. Turns out there's a lot to learn about selling...well...anything. Tom fights off bored housewives and trashy blind dates, while trying to woo Jean, a tomboy BMW mechanic who may be a lesbian. Jean hates men in general and Tom in particular, though she loves his cartoons. There is also the distinct possibility that Jean is his half-sister.
