SCENE 1 | Telly and his Uncle Talbot are selling his home-made “Happy Caps” in the yard. What makes them “happy” is that the extra long peak of the cap will keep one’s feet protected on a sunny day. They try to sell one to Carlo, but he’s already got a normal cap. Uncle Talbot must leave to make more and makes Telly wear his cap the whole day, for promotional purposes. Elmo comes by, having heard about Telly’s new cap. Telly turns to respond, but the cap’s peak whacks Elmo and knocks him out cold. | |
