Uncle's Finish (1914)

Percy's uncle is 80 years old and becoming more and more cranky and eccentric. But since the uncle has a large fortune, Percy (the sole heir) is forced to obey the uncle's every whim. For example, one day the uncle reads a newspaper article that tells of a place in the Southwest where one can recapture one's youth by drinking the local water. Percy, disgusted with his uncle's folly, falls asleep and dreams that the uncle went to the magical town and drank the water--restoring the uncle's youth, muscles, and appetite. In the dream, the uncle becomes very aggressive and he eats everything he sees. The uncle continues to regress all the way back to becoming... a monkey! Then Percy wakes up.
