Buy a trap, a rat trap, buy my trap
A rat in one of the traps has caught the attention of the dog at the trader's heels. A potential customer, meanwhile, peruses the goods on offer while the seller's gaze has been distracted by the young woman looking out of a window. This encounter is paralleled by the amorous couple seen with their arms around each other in the background.
