Sebastian Mortimer is an encyclopedia sales representative. When he reaches the next city of his tour, he tries to honor a meeting with a potential client, but nothing goes as planned. He’s unable to meet a single client and is even suspected by the local police of being the famous “suitcase killer”... A variation of the story of G.H. Fretwell.
