But the men were smoking them very short that season, so it was a hard job to get a good smoke. At last he was run over by a machine as he was in the act of getting a good one, and the doctor took pity on the fellow and took him home. At the house of the doctor he revived and was asked to stay for dinner. During the meal he became flirty and began to write notes to the lady of the house under the table. After dinner he became a little more familiar and the doctor was angry. He ejected Dinty from the house, so the tramp swore revenge. Dinty telephoned the doctor to come to a certain house at once, and then, when the doctor went to the door, he stole the car. Calling for the doctor's wife in the car, he took her for a ride. But as a chauffeur Dinty was not a success and it was not long before the flivver was a thing of the past. It so happened that the smashup occurred just in front of the hospital, so that he was taken inside and given the best of attention. The doctor was at once sent for, as an operation was deemed necessary. But the doctor that came was the very one who was looking for Dinty. With fiendish glee he sharpened the knife and prepared to take his pound of flesh. Dinty managed to get away and led the surgeon a chase all over the hospital. Then the police arrived and things got even more complicated. Dinty got out and took refuge in an auto with the cops after him. The chase ended in the doctor's house again. Dinty entered the room of the doctor's wife and then the doctor came in. He was forced to hide in the closet, but at last was discovered by the irate man. The picture ends as the masher gets his true deserts. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
