At first he decided on self-destruction, but when he attempted to throw himself into the lake, several hungry alligators cruising around it in changed his mind. He then hired the Chief Assassin of the Murderers' Association to do away with him within 12 hours. Same assassin agreed to the bargain, but meanwhile, Mr. McIdiot's lady friend decided she had made a mistake and told Mr. McIdiot she wanted him back. He went to cancel his bargain with the assassin, but unluckily he was out on a killing expedition, and Mr. McIdiot couldn't find him. To make matters worse, the Chief Assassin had a fit of remorse and decided to give up his old life. He chose the same minister to confess to who was marrying Mr. McIdiot, and the meeting was not pleasant. Mr. McIdiot ran up a high ladder, and the Chief Assassin fell off the same ladder into shallow water. Mr. McIdiot finally got the girl, but he was in such nervous condition he forgot to kiss her at the close of the wedding ceremony. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
