In Bed-in Bad

• 1917
• Other, Comedy

Vic is a "busy bee" at his office, and he is working so hard that his office staff becomes alarmed for fear he may overwork. They all impress this strongly upon him. Needless to say he laughs at them, for he never was sick a day in his life. On his arrival home, his wife greets him with great concern over the way he looks and insists upon sending for the doctor. She 'phones him, and he tells her to put Vic to bed at once, that he will be over with a nurse. She does. The fact that Vic has been put to bed sick becomes the talk of the neighborhood and each neighbor comes over to do their "bit." Each one suggests a different doctor, and "Mrs. Vic" has them all. One doctor says it's his heart, the other his chest, and another says it's his throat. However, after a final consultation, they all decide that he should be operated on for appendicitis. Vic is alarmed and wants to know what caused this, and the doctors tell him he does not get enough exercise. Vic announces that he will get some right away, and he ends up by "walloping" the life out of all the doctors.
