Sailor's Practical Joke (1907)

Three seamen are drinking in a tavern. Finally, one of them, on drinking four rounds of two glasses each, drops as if dead. His cronies, alarmed, flee, and the landlady, unwilling to have a corpse to her credit, carries him to a neighbor's doorway and leaves, him there in an upright position. A man falls over him, and apparently of the same disposition as the landlady, carries the limp form to another doorway. In this way the sailor, shamming cleverly, is carried to two more doorways, after which he is put into a vacant carriage, but cabby is not on good terms with corpses, so he takes it to a bather's dressing-tent on a beach. From here it makes another trip, and a few more find the sailor waking up in the water. He now makes his way back to the tavern, where he sees his cronies discussing his fate; he crawls under the table between them, and suddenly bobs up, after which all three join in a good long laugh at the joke.
