Sam Bicke is a salesman in Philadelphia, living apart from his wife Marie and hoping she will take him back. He sells office furniture for Jack Jones, who calls President Richard Nixon the greatest salesman in history, and Sam is awkward at the work. His own plan is a mobile tire business run with his friend Bonny Simmons, and he applies to a government loan agency for the money to start it. His brother Julius owns the tire shop where Sam once worked. Jack hires only married salesmen and doubts Sam's account of his marriage, and the loan answer has not come. As the ground gives way under him, Sam looks for someone to blame and fixes on the President.
