Sally is a secretary who uses any and every opportunity to pamper herself and improve the way she looks. While talking on the telephone at work, she does her facial exercises. At home, she massages her feet on a wine bottle while washing the dishes, does her abdominal exercises while scrubbing her laundry on a washboard, does calisthenics while hanging laundry, and practices her skating technique while polishing the floor. She uses items around her house as secret beauty treatments, including olive oil as a facial oil, an ironing board as an inversion table, and old stockings braided together as hair rats. When Sally's roommate Gussie tries these same techniques, she has a little less success.
