Anthony seeks out a job at O'Dermott's after catching his girlfriend in the throes of passion with Turner, an O'Dermott burger jockey. Determined to exact revenge on Turner, Anthony kidnaps a promotional display from competitor Burger Queen, intending to make his foe look like the perpetrator. Anthony's sarcastic first-person narrative, related in staccato prose, serves up a lot of laughs.
