While the film refers to “business” the location of the story is the Postal Service, at the central sorting station at the foot of Bay Street in Toronto. Conveyors are featured assisting the sorting and movement of mail, with the employees working to the pace of the conveyors. The implication is that this technology might have broader applications in other types of work. Just a few years later the postal workers featured in the film were on strike.
