Pat Casey's Case (1914)

Pat Casey, an Irish laborer, is in love with his work. So much so, that he is fired ten minutes after he accepts a job. Besides his overwhelming desire for labor, he is inclined to be a fighter, and many the scrap he has. His wife finally secures him a job, but Pat gets lazy and pretends that he is ill. Two of the laborers carry him home and his wife puts him to bed. During the absence of his better-half he bribes his daughter to give him a pie, which he devours. When his wife returns with the doctor, the physician informs him that he is not sick at all, only lazy. When his wife discovers that he has been playing possum she routs him out of the house and a merry chase takes place.
