A scene in a bank: actor John Liston as the comic character Paul Pry, quizzing glass raised to his eyes, stands at the desk of a red-faced banker (left) who sits with quill pen in hand, another behind his ear, lower lip jutting out as he glares at his customer. A second customer enters the door of the bank (right) with papers in-hand. Paul Pry is a character from a John Poole farce of the same name. Pry is characterized as a man consumed with curiosity, a busybody unable to mind his own business. Pry wears striped trousers, hessian boots, tail coat and top hat, and carries an umbrella that he leaves behind so that he would have an excuse to return and eavesdrop
