What happens

Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, wearing a purple sweater, stands at a wooden rolltop desk tapping a telegraph key, first glancing excitedly toward a window with his hands clasped at his chest. A heavy bald man in a red sweater looks on from behind him as Burns keeps working the key inside a cabinet of wooden pigeonholes. The scene ends with a single black line streaking across a pale lavender sky, with no other text or objects visible.
