  • "When actor Charles Paris agrees to drive a forklift for a food manufacturing company's sales video, he thinks it will be a piece of cake. But Paris isn't prepared for the corpse he stumbles over on his first day on the job."
  • "Charles Paris (unsuccessful actor, bad husband, dipsomaniac) is currently appearing as a fork lift operator in a corporate video. It's not prime-time television or a major film, but it seems like easy money, until the fork lift is used to commit a murder. When Charles himself comes under suspicion, he decides to find out for himself who the murderer is. Meanwhile, as ever with Charles, life on the domestic front is not plain sailing. After inflicting damage upon his ex-wife's house, he finds himself offering her a berth on the houseboat he's currently sitting for a friend. However, life on the water proves as tricky as life at work."

  • "Charles is selected by a food manufacturing company for a video they are producing for their sales force. He spends a barely tolerable day feigning an enthusiasm he doesn't feel. When his lunch hour finally arrives, he can't decide whether to find a pub or locate a quiet little corner and read. Returning to retrieve his raincoat, he finds the lifeless body of a woman he had flirted with minutes before."@en

  • "Charles Paris's star gig is as "forklift-driver-for-a-day" in a corporate video. Charles, dressed for the occasion in blue workman's overalls, must position the forklift and then declaim in the trained voice of an actor the wonders of the company and its big, happy family of employees. Charles delivers his lines with his usual aplomb, but he can't help wondering about the "happy family". Still, the pay is good for a couple of hours spouting platitudes. It's even rather fun to learn to manipulate a forklift. But it's a responsibility, too, as Charles learns to his horror: a forklift can be a tool for murder."@en
