A Rolls-Royce pulls up to a curb. The chauffeur gets out of the car and walks over to the window of the back passenger. He hands him some clothes. We see as the chauffer starts walking away that he's going into a laundromat. He puts the suit in a machine closest to the front window. The passenger of the vehicle is reading his newspaper leisurely and looking out to see the progress from the window. We see a new perspective of the passenger, he's wearing a shirt and underwear. When the chauffeur exits the laundromat the passenger becomes happy and expectant. The door is opened to the car and he is handed his suit. He starts putting it on, now with a cigar in his mouth. The chauffeur moves back to the driver's seat and begins to pull away from the laundromat curb. An announcer talks about Barney's wash-and-wear suits and their suit variety.
