Ima Simp, Goat (1915)
Ambition simply oozes out of Ima Simp when he is bitten by the hookworm and he proceeds to go after the long-distance sleep record. He is later discovered stentoriously snoring under a horse's watering trough, from where he is dragged out by the heels and ordered to finish his chores. But it's no use. The only thing that interests Ima is sleep, sleep, sleep. He sleeps lying down and be sleeps standing up. Position may be everything in life, but it doesn't make a particle of difference to Ima Simp. He simply can't stay awake. Noting the arrival of a great hookworm specialist in town, Ima's father consults him, and he decides to operate on Ima. The surgeon removes a part of Ima's brain for examination. His cat promptly devours it. After vainly pursuing the voracious feline, the doctor decides to replace the lost portion of Ima's brains with that of a goat. As soon as the change is made, Ima shows every indication of being possessed with all the instincts and habits of the goat. From that moment things begin to happen. Ima gives as fine an exhibition of plain and fancy butting as was ever shown by any real goat.
