USE YOUR ELECTRICITY BY THE CLOCK - TRAILER
Several shots of a mystic in eastern dress and turban (played by Terry Thomas) telling future to woman by looking into crystal ball. He sees her house lit with candles instead of electric light and heated with real fire instead of electricity. The two have an argument. Woman says that it is not her house he is looking at since she has electricity but he argues that what he sees happens in the future.
