The Pipe Dream (1915)
After a night's sleep in an ash barrel, the tramp seeks breakfast at a nearby house. The fat cook ushers the bulldog onto the scene who chases the tramp up a tree. His corn cob pipe lulls him to sleep again and he dreams. He fancies he picks up a pocketbook filled with bills on the walk, is chased by its owner through the woods, over farms, down streets and finally over the bay, using moored rowboats for a footing. In the woods a fairy appears who dances before him and performs various freaks of nature for his amusement, such as inducing chickens to walk backwards and swimmers to dive from the water to the board and then, as he tries to kiss her she disappears. Wandering restlessly away he enters a barrel for rest. The barrel is rolled down the hill by several boys. It strikes a tree and explodes. Then he awakens, having fallen out of the tree.
