Work-obsessed Tom Benecke chooses to work on a project
rather than go out with his wife to the cinema. However, tragedy strikes when a vital
piece of paper is blown out of the window and is left plastered against the ledge of the
outside wall. Tom Benecke, determined not to lose all of his hard work and his hopes of
promotion, steps out of his apartment window and walks along the ledge to try and regain
it. Finally he succeeds, and manages to re-enter his apartment window with the piece of
paper. Leaving it on his desk, he then decides to go and catch up with his wife after
all, as his near-death experience has changed his priorities somewhat. As he leaves to
go out, a gust of wind from the opening door blows the same bit of paper out of the
window once again. This time, however, Tom Benecke merely laughs and carries on going
out to look for his wife.
