Tin Men Don't Get Mad....They Get Even!
Plot
Ernest Tilley and Bill "BB" Babowsky are "tin men" — door-to-door
aluminum siding salesmen in
Baltimore in
1963. Working for different companies, they are prepared to do almost anything — legal or illegal — to close a sale. BB buys a shiny new car to maintain his image of success and almost immediately crashes into an older car driven by Tilley. This generates a spate of
road rage and the two rivals vow to do anything to get back at the other. BB seduces Tilley's wife as an act of revenge, not knowing that Tilley wants to leave her anyway. Exhausted by their rivalry, the two men decide to play a game of
pool to decide who should get her. BB loses, but he does not honor the bet.
An investigating government commission charged with uprooting corrupt sales practices in the home improvements industry calls both men before them, and takes away their licenses. Reconciled to their fate, the two men start planning new business deals together.
