Pretty Billie Rhodes becomes a nurse at Neal Burns' hospital. She and Ray Gallagher are sweethearts, but Burns fancies her and tells her she will have no time off. Gallagher checks himself into the hospital to see Miss Rhodes, whereupon Burns tries to perform brain surgery on him.
This was the year that writer/producer Al Christie announced that they would never do vile slapstick. Yet here is Burns doing a Ford Sterling imitation, complete with hand-patting and using a plumbing U-bend as a periscope. I suppose his bosses at Universal gave him orders, and the result is this would-be Keystone comedy in the midst of a more standard Christie comedy of the period.
By about 1920, the Christies had given up their high-blown promises of highbrow comedy and were producing straight slapstick. Burns and Gallagher were still working for them.
