action

Ollie is in the county hospital with a broken leg and has to stay in bed for a long time. Still, he is very happy because for the first time in his life he can really relax. One day, however, he gets a visit from his best friend Stan, about whom he is not very enthusiastic. He handed him a bag full of nuts and hard-boiled eggs, as pralines were too expensive. When Ollie is to be examined by his doctor, Stan throws the counterweight of Ollie's leg in plaster of paris out of the window, which also hangs the doctor out of the window and can only be saved at the last moment. During this rescue operation, a nurse forgets a syringe with a strong sleeping pill on a chair. After Ollie is released because of his friend's behavior, Stan accidentally sits down on the syringe and accompanies him to the exit of the hospital. There the syringe begins to work and he gets tired. Together they get into the car and since Stan has two healthy legs, it's his job to drive them home. However, he overslepts the journey and ends up between two trams.
