Perkin's Pep Producer (1915)
Bloom Center is peaceful, but in Pleasant Grove, a nearby town, Percival Perkin is peddling Perkin's Pep Producer, a marvelous fluid guaranteed to make one feel like new. He is assisted by his pretty young wife and also Slim Boggs. The Bloom Center Bugle states that Bloom Center needs a trained nurse, and Percival Perkin decides that his wife, Lucy, should supply the demand of a nurse and do the advance advertising for the Producer. The masculine characters of Bloom Center are at once interested when a beautiful young nurse arrives in their midst. Constable Plum is taken suddenly ill. Then Ira Pash becomes ill. Johnny West is also stricken, and Lucy, the nurse, is called to attend them all. Slim arrives in the village, is taken really ill and the doctor pronounces the case smallpox, much to the consternation of the Bloom Centerites. In the midst of confusion Percival Perkin arrives with the wonderful "dope." He gives Slim a dose of whiskey instead of the Pep Producer, which has beneficial results. The sales are numerous. When Pickle, Pash, West and Plum go behind the barn to drink the stuff, they find it quite different from the sample. It is too late, though, for the Perkins are far down the road toward the next town they will victimize.
