Visualizing the convergence of Zion Myers's style and the core Short narrative.
A henpecked husband's wife demands that he get a raise. The cook quits and comes to Joe's office for her wages and his bachelor boss mistakes her for Joe's wife, gives him the raise, and invites himself to lunch. Joe's efforts to keep up the deception not only anger his wife but "starts something" with the cook's sweetheart. The boss at last learns the truth but forgives Joe.
Decades after its release, Be Careful, Dearie! remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Zion Myers's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
