The premise

Here’s the bit.

A woman struggling to open a jar tries banging it against a kitchen counter and accidentally strikes her husband. Her attempts to conceal the accident spiral into a police visit, arrest, a prison sentence and an elaborate escape. Presented as a black-and-white product demonstration, the growing disaster becomes the problem that an inexpensive rubber glove promises to prevent.
