Plot

[edit]

In a small town called Hicksville, excitement brews as locals prepare to welcome Miss Glory. Teenage bellhop Abner, who first yelled "Call for Miss Glory" in a manner similar to the "Call for Philip Morris" cigarette advertisements, accompanied by a similar advertisement on the wall, falls asleep on the job and dreams of working in an upscale city hotel. Abner navigates his dream world, culminating in a humorous encounter with a glamorous Miss Glory. Abner wakes up to find the real Miss Glory is a young girl.
