There’s a box of labor saving devices - "Handy Housewife Helpers" - available from a warehouse.
The device opens cans, takes corks out of bottles, cores apples, and many other things.
Ralph's plan is to borrow money from their wives to buy the box and pay for a live TV commercial.
Ralph and Norton work out a commercial in which the "chef of the future" shares the wonders of the kitchen gadget that does everything and makes housewives happy.
During the rehearsal, everything goes well, but as the show goes live, Ralph develops stage fright and freezes up, while Norton tries to save the commercial.
