This comic film happily celebrates the NOVELTIES that became popular in America--  the SLINKY, CHATTERING TEETH, the PET ROCK, 1956’s ANT FARM & others that put a smile on our faces…

…  JACKSON KUEHN plays a young man who comes up with an idea for a new novelty, & eagerly goes to China to try to link up with a company that would agree to make the product that he hopes will help make him a RICH man…

…  But, in China, he’s unable to find the “contact” guy James Choi that he PAID in advance for a hotel room & introduction to manufacturers.  He chances to meet a seemingly well-connected Westerner & tries to get HIM to help with his project…

…  But, having been “scammed” before, Jackson remains secretive about his “humorous domestic hygiene product” invention. His connection guy keeps having him run around from one place to another, & nothing seems to go quite right…

…  Is he being scammed AGAIN?  Will he make the connections he needs to get his product made?  What IS the product? Will he find romance on the way?  Will a famous American help his product SUCCEED in the business world?...

…  Tune in to this charming light-hearted romp (directed by Judi Krant) & let the whimsy wash over you!
