Dreamy Dud Has a Laugh on the Boss (1916)
Novel trick photography combining the activities of living and pen-sketched subjects mark this split reel. Cartoonist Carlson goes to sleep at his drawing board as soon as he has sketched his familiar figures of Dreamy Dud and his dog Wag. Catching their boss asleep these two mischievous youngsters leap off the board and are off for some fun. They get into an apple orchard. The farmer, Harry Dunkinson, is reading a "Diamond Dick" between blood-curdling interruptions by his parrot. He spies the trespassers, and with a blunderbuss fires at them. They retaliate so rapidly with apples that he shakes off the mortal coil and becomes an angel. What matter if his garb is a sheet, and his wings merely panama fans? Ascending, he reaches the moon and a wing breaks. A sign tells him it is only 983,000,000 miles to heaven, so he is discouraged. Spying Dreamy Dud in the orchard, he hurls a boot at him from the moon. He topples out of the tree. Carlson wakes up on the floor where he has fallen, to find Dreamy Dud, Wag, and Farmer Dunkinson all laughing at him. It was his own dream.
