A Safe Risk (1916)
The Hocum Accident Insurance Co. does a land-office business and the lame, the halt and the blind who are in need of "safe risks" apply there for accident insurance. Joe Inright draws $25.00 for a week's indemnity, and from that hour on resolves to draw another indemnity if possible. Bill Hardluck, attracted by the money drawn by Joe, resolves to take out an accident insurance policy. After he does so, needing ready money, he does everything in his power to experience an accident. He takes all kinds of long chances, but is always saved in the nick of time. Finally Bill is blown into the air by dynamite and falls through the skylight into a surgeon's operating room. When he is released, he is certainly in need of accident insurance and is hurried to the insurance office. When he arrives he discovers that the Hocum Accident Insurance Co. has been closed.
