Bill gets word that his mother-in-law intends paying a long visit and he begs the doctor to give him poison. The doctor naturally does not give it to him, but that evening the doctor is called to the house to treat Mrs. Benson. Mother bothers the doctor with her continuous flow of conversation and he pretends to find her ill. He slips a clinical thermometer in Mrs. Brown's mouth to keep her quiet. Bill likes the idea and appeals to the doctor to give him one. Doctor Gregory does so and Bill has a fine time. He breaks the thermometer but strips the wood casing from a bath thermometer and makes that do. He is telling Dr. Gregory all about it over the phone when his wife and her mother overhear him. Dr. Gregory gathers from what he hears that he will be needed and hurries to the aid of Bill. When they have nearly killed Bill, they phone for the doctor and become frantic when they can't get an answer. Dr. Gregory walks in to the great relief of the two women and presently we find Bill in bed wrapped in bandages. With a thermometer in his mouth he chews the cud of remorse while mother entertains him with her prattle. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
