Plot

Amateur scientist Mr. Klausner invents a sound machine that can detect sounds so quiet he can hear plants.

During a sunny suburban summer before the Second World War Mr. Klausner develops a box which amplifies the tiniest sound and, for example, records the screams of flowers as they are being cut. His next-door neighbour is less impressed by his invention. Likewise the doctor who regards Mr. Klausner as a case for treatment.—don @ minifie-1
