The story

Ernest Tilley and Bill "BB" Babowsky are rival door-to-door aluminum siding salesmen in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1963, an era when "tin men", as they are called, will do almost anything, legal or illegal, to close a sale. Both have the required gift of the gab but while BB is a smooth-talking con man who scams naive young women with his sales pitches, Tilley struggles to close his sales. The men first meet when BB, driving his new Cadillac automobile off the dealer's lot, backs into Tilley's own Cadillac.
