Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The short centers on one punchline which is 'nobody should do their own plumbing.' It’s six minutes so it kinda beats all the life out of that punchline.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”

So this curmudgeonly old gent declines to pay the plumber's exorbitant $75 an hour fee to come fix his leaky tap. How hard can it be? Well he is about to find out as he fetches his tool kit and sets about the offending drip with his monkey wrench. Next thing, well let's hope he has loads of insurance and is fond of humble pie. Though the premiss is all fairly predicable, this is still a fun animation with the artwork creatively exposing this man's journey from complacency to exasperation to stupidity via plenty of water and and some sheer bloody-mindedness. Perhaps it could preface a few of those You Tube videos that teach you how to rewire your power shower in two minutes with the lights out?
