      The Girls Father: How will you support her?

      The Young Man: I don't know. I'll leave for the city to make good. If I'm not a success, I'll come back and shoot myself.

    Buster Not Really A Man Of Her Dreams
    Buster, to get the approval of the father of the girl he wants to marry, sets off for the big city to show he can get a good job to support her.

    He first writes to his girl that he's a big shot in a hospital. She dreams he's this important surgeon. It turns out he's just the go-fer for a veterinarian, bringing cats, dogs.....and a skunk...to the doc.

    Then he writes that he's on Wall Street and "cleaning up." She dreams of a big tycoon, but - you guessed it - he's the sanitation worker and a wild scene involving confetti ensues.

    After he's done with that - he doesn't last long anywhere - he writes that he's in the stage. She daydreams he's the leading actor, but he's only an extra. He winds up getting chased by the cops, inadvertently taking money that didn't belong to him and....

    Finally, he writes that the police "follow his every move." She daydreams he must be the Police Captain, giving the men orders, but really it's just more of that last chase scene, except there are about 100 cops chasing him now, "following his every move."

    The two-minute ending is pretty strange, too, a downer for some, but a fitting one!
