Description

Two adverts for Rufflette products:
1) Honor Blackman ("The Wife") and Jimmy Hanley ("The Husband") are discussing curtain problems with a friend. Flashbacks reveal the mess that Jimmy made of hanging them through conventional methods, but the crisis was solved by a neighbour who advises the use of Rufflette products.
2) Terry Thomas is accosted in his bungalow by a policewoman who threatens him with a breach of the peace charge. She has observed him larking about in his underwear in front of the window, his antics revealed by his faulty curtains. The day is saved when the WPC advises him to use Rufflette curtain products.
