Titles read: DAVE AND DUSTY (aka OVER AND UNDER THE COUNTER). London. Small boy Dave and his dog Dusty walk into a grocer s shop. A woman is being served by a lady assistant at the counter. Dave asks for soap flakes and matches and the woman shakes her head, saying she doesn t have any. The other customer hands over her ration book. While she is being served Dave rigs up a periscope to see under the counter, in case the woman is lying. He clips a mirror to a stick with a bulldog clip and holds it over the counter but there are no goods being hidden. The assistant is reaching up to a high shelf and doesn t notice. When she turns around Dave pulls the pole back quickly so she doesn t see. Note: good footage of a late 1940s grocery shop. Big box of Rakusen s Delicious Matzos on the counter.
