In the bustling bathroom ceramics factory W.C. Boggs & Son, the traditionalist owner W.C. Boggs steers the company through a maze of headaches and headaches in disguise. A storm of labor unrest rages under the watchful eyes of the union’s loudmouth leader, Vic Spanner, whose constant calls for strikes over the smallest incidents—and even to chase time off for a local football match—frustrate both workers and management alike. Amid this tension, the site foreman Sid Plummer remains the steady bridge between the two sides, a practical thinker who keeps the production line humming even when the going gets prickly. Together, they navigate a climate of complaints, negotiations, and the delicate art of avoiding a full-blown stoppage.
