The Salesman Jerry is his company's leading Soytato saleman, skilled at convincing outer-world merchants they need to buy mega-tons of Earth's most nutricious crop. But he's afraid his best sales pitches will be ruined when his meddlesome and obnoxious boss, Riley, tags along on a sales trip to the frontier planet Corinthia. As his worst fears are realized, with Riley's interference forcing rejection after rejection, Jerry ponders ways to neutralize him. He opts for a seemingly innocent opportunity to distract his boss, but instead, figures from the shady Corinthian underground spirit Riley away. Though now working alone, and his sales pitches start to bear great results, Jerry's guilt over Riley's disappearance ruin his sense of victory. Can he find his boss and free him from whatever black place he'd fallen into? |
