Lazy Louis (1913)
Louis has the sleeping sickness. Mrs. Schultz sees all her fond dreams of prosperity going to wreck. Louis's boss is just about to can him, when he gets an idea, conveys it to Mrs. Schultz, and all set about to put it into execution. Louis comes home from work at 10 A.M. and tells his wife that he is sick and thinks he had better go to bed. She agrees with him, and calls the boss and the doctor, and all set about convincing the lazy man that he is very ill. The doctor administers an opiate and when Louis is asleep, he is removed to the operating table of a hospital and left alone. He awakens and takes in the skeletons and human butcher knives and other instruments of death and torture. After a full terror of his situation dawns on him, the doctor enters and remarks to one of his assistants, "I'll remove his liver while you cut out his appendix." This is too much for Louis. Clad as he is, he brushes all in his way aside and races home. Before the wife and doctor reach there, however, Louis is dressed and ready for work. They urge him to lie down and rest, as he does not look well, but not he. He rushes to work and the last seen of him he is racing through it like an express speeding down a forty-degree grade.
