I saw this on TCM in the USA.
Chic plays a poor man who sells the pies his wife bakes for ten cent apiece. Although tired, hungry and in no mood for conflict, his wife sends him out to sell pies and to confront their one competitor about business. Chic reads a self-help pamphlet and decides to talk his competitor into a merger. The two "businessmen" sit down to discuss the merger, and from that point forward, the short is basically two running jokes. One... although the two men are merely vendors who peddle their pies out of a toy wagon and handbasket, they discuss their business as if it were a huge corporation poised to monopolize the industry by buying farms, mills and railroads. And two... Chic finds ways to eat his competitors pies without paying for them.
The comedy is virtually all verbal, and after the opening scene, it becomes a two man play as the two men sit under a tree and discuss business. I don't know when the first belch on screen occurred, but this short has a couple of belches thrown in as jokes at the end.
Chic is in good form, but this short is only mildly amusing...
