synopsis

You too can be in the movie, threatens what starts out as a playful satire against profiteers who take advantage of the shortage of food and other goods in the post-war period. A scientist examining various types of social pests under a microscope is actually a member of the “health” police. A vigilant white blood cell that shines a light on all thieves, even those in front of their screens. Are you smiling at this? Yes, you!
