The carriage rolls down the street and hits Rube. Then he goes to the hospital. When he regains consciousness he finds an awful looking nurse at his bedside. He starts to leave the hospital, but stops when he sees Madge, who is attending to Art, the star patient. Rube tries to get the attention of Madge and angers Art. This starts a fight which takes the whole hospital force to quiet. In the meanwhile the porter of the hospital gives one of the patients a drink of an antiseptic wash, then laughs at his spitting it out. The patient attacks him, and when he is rescued by the doctors, to protect himself, he blames the whole thing on an innocent party. This causes the innocent party to be ordered out of the hospital. He, smarting under the injustice of it, returns with a bomb. Rube takes it away from him and puts it under Art's bed. Art sees it and throws it back at Rube. The bomb is finally forgotten by Art and Rube when they start to fight, but the bomb soon explodes and blows up the ward. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
