Dad, who is taking a nap on the lawn, gets a free shave, while Bessie, his daughter, amuses herself with her unbidden callers. But Slumber's call cannot be denied and while their puffing automower frolics about the lawn, Ham and Bud give themselves over to napping. Bessie sends in a call for the electrician. Arriving, he sets to work in the basement to repair some broken wires. What's this? A note stating jewels are buried 'neath the chestnut tree? Leaving the wires sparking against a water pipe, the electrical worker rushes out. Seeing our heroes asleep, Bessie decides to gives them a bath from the garden hose. As she touches the pipe a shock stretches her senseless. Ham and Bud, thinking their lawnmower had killed her, deposit her limp form beneath the tree and cover it o'er with grass. The electrician returns. As he digs he unearths the fair Bessie. Ham and Bud see her return to the house and they dive into the bathroom window through fright. Bud touches the electrified pipe, and before many seconds elapse the entire, household has felt the effects. Written by Moving Picture World, March 10, 1917 See less
