Plot
Storyline
Ted Healy is the proprietor of the "Big Idea Scenario Company" (Ideas While You Wait). Unfortunately, various visitors to his one-room office constantly interrupt his train of thought. These include a man with a machine gun, a woman who empties wastebaskets on the floor, and a trio of musicians who play "Marching Through Georgia" on various instruments.
Ted Healy is the inept President and Author of the Big Idea Scenario Company, whose motto is, "Ideas While You Wait." His office is used more as a throughfare for others, including three stooges providing musical interludes and a few fountains, than it is as an office where he is working on his own Big Idea before going to meet his girlfriend Honey for a date. Relaying the scenario to the office cleaning woman, Ted imagines the idea as a radio show and its successful aftermath. Honey has a different perspective of what his Big Idea is.
