William Blaisdell tells Monte Banks that if he sells a copy of his encyclopedia, he can marry Blaisdell's daughter, Lois Boyd. So off Monte goes, door to door.
The man selling encyclopedias or more general books, or even anything door-to-door is an out-of-date trope, an industrialization of peddlers long gone. Banks gets into a number of amusing situations, including a fine thrill comedy sequence atop a construction site, but a special word of praise should be spoken about the unnamed title writer, who came up with various silly claims for what the book can teach the reader.
There's quite obviously a start to the movie that's missing, but it doesn't harm it any.
