I would be too if I was locked in my job location all night, forced reluctantly to work overtime yet nobody there to let me out when it's time to come home. That's the situation for department store clerks Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly, going from dealing with difficult customers directly then displaying a new fangled invention called a dish washer. The two are told to keep demonstrating until the last person has left. That turns out to be a drunk (Arthur Matheson) who gets to see a silhouette show too, thinking that Todd has decapitated someone, then later ogling her silhouette only in a negligee, resulting in a very funny sound effect. Their attempts to get a decent rest is interrupted during the morning rush hour which is a great exit in how it is done. I like Todd with Kelly more than Zasu Pitts as Kelly's brash personality lead to more plot possibilities, making them the original version of Laverne and Shirley.
