Over plates of fried chicken, some reporters who had been traveling with Wallace talked about the campaign. They felt a little confused by what they had seen: the sources and meaning of Wallace's northern support were hard to assess, and they agreed that what they needed was to spend a little time in some northern cities in advance of a Wallace visit, talking to workers and union people, trying to find out what Wallace's "good folks" really have on their minds.

...twitchy dance of premarital jitters enlivens the third playlet. Mike (Marvin Lichterman) bursts into the apartment of his fiancee Susan (Mariclare Costello) at 4 a.m. to tell her that the wedding bells are not going to chime. Fluttering around like a chicken with its head cut off, he sputters out a dozen reasons why the match would be catastrophic: like, for instance, her arms are too thin. When his hysteria runs out of steam, Susan blandly and sweetly asks him if he and his father got fitted for their tuxedos today...
