C/U of a middle aged man smoking a pipe holding a suction pad to his head - this is a contraption it is claimed will cure baldness. It is called the “Trichosan Treatment“. He moves the pad around on his head. He is Mr Harry Billenness (Billenes?) - a member of the “Curly Boys Club“ who meet several times a week in an attempt to win the battle of the receding hairline. Various shots of other men who are using this strange device. One man sits reading a copy of Picture Show magazine and operating the device with a hand pump, others operate the device with a foot pump. C/U of the President of the club Tony Voitechovsky applying lotion to the bald pate of a man who sits beside him. There are “before and after“ photographs of balding men on the wall behind them. C/U of an “on - off“ switch which operates the pump. Tony switches it on and applies it to the bald man’s head. The device is a powerful suction cone. When it is taken off the guys head you can see where it has stretched his scalp up - youch!
