Synopsis

Klaas Haasbroek is employed to try out children’s toys and has not only a good insight into what children will like, but also an uncanny ability to predict just how many items the firm is likely to sell. Unfortunately, his immediate superior, Herman Engelbrecht, always takes the credit and Klaas is too timid to assert himself. Klaas lives in a boarding house run by Mrs. Goldberg and takes turns sleeping in the same bed as his friend Fanus, who has a night job. One day things take an unexpected turn when his reflection in the bathroom mirror decides to take a hand. Initially his alter ego’s advice has a disastrous effect, but gradually Klaas gains confidence and is well on his way to becoming a successful movie star....

Context

The film gives Debbo ample chance to display his trademark talent for slapstick impersonations, notably when he is forced to improvise various stations on a broken radio. The girls in his life are played by Trudie Rossouw and Emsie Botha and his boss is acted by Douglas Fuchs, who was to become Director General of the SABC. This was Emsie Botha's first film appearance and Dawid van der Walt's first credited one.
