The Foster Portfolio
E7
The Foster PortfolioJon Cryer plays "Slippy" Carter, an arrogant investment advisor who is tired of "nickel and dime accounts" and dreams of being on Nelson Rockefeller's payroll. Instead, he has to content himself with the likes of Hebert J. Foster (Nick Blake), a mild-mannered produce clerk living in a modest neighbourhood with his strait-laced wife and a young daughter. Carter and his assistant (Katie Wolfe) are in for a surprise when they discover that, appearances to the contrary, Foster is really a millionaire. The upstanding citizen and model husband and father has been concealing his true circumstances from his wife in order to be able to justify his weekend job - playing jazz piano at the Bluebeat Cellar, a smoke-filled, slightly seedy dive.
