Your neighborhood chevron gas station invites you to... Let George do it! Brought to you by the makers of climate-tailored chevron supreme gasoline and RPM-compounded motor oil. Let George do it!

That's the slogan George Valentine hung in his office when he got out of the army with an idea and not much money to back it up. When the client shows up with a problem, George is happy.

When no client appears, George is still happy. The Worry department is handled by his secretary, Claire, and her brother Sonny. Right now, George is sitting in his office when suddenly he hears a commotion outside.
