Click Image to Enlarge
Sidney Stratton, a humble inventor, develops a fabric which never gets dirty or wears out. This would seem to be
a boon for mankind, but the established garment manufacturers don't see it that way; they try to supress it. Nevertheless, Sidney is
determined to put his invention on the market, forcing the clothing factory bigwigs to resort to more desperate measures.
