Rent a Man

Synopsis

Bob plays a sophisticated, man-about-town who hires day-laborer Harry, brings him home and puts him to work cooking, cleaning, washing, and generally waiting on Bob hand and foot. The employee can't argue with his boss so he goes through the degrading tasks, including the crowning humiliation of having to wear a frilly apron while serving his employer. However, a dramatic turn of events gives Harry the upper hand when he discovers Bob's diary and uses it to good advantage. See how the crafty servant brings his proud and arrogant master to his knees for the hilarious finale.
