Synopsis

A very vain man is mightily impressed with his own moustache, which he has carefully cultivated, trained and groomed. Striding down the street, he looks down his nose at the pathetic whiskers of the other townsmen, until he comes across another gentleman with his own remarkable concoction of facial hair. An amusing stand-off of epic proportions ensues – but as the ancients have taught us, pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall…
