The story

Walter Mitty is a kind but mild man, henpecked and harassed by his overbearing mother, his idea-stealing boss Bruce Pierce, his dimwitted fiancée Gertrude, Gertrude's obnoxious would-be suitor Tubby, and Gertrude's loud-mouthed mother. Walter escapes their incessant needling by imagining himself leading exciting lives, fueled by the pulp magazines he proofreads at the Pierce Publishing Company in Manhattan. These daydreams frequently cause him trouble.
