Good Night, Nurse!
About Good Night, Nurse!
Drunk on a rainy night, Fatty tries to mail a fellow drunk home by covering the man's face with stamps and setting him on a mailbox. His wife, woken by a monkey the street musicians brought in, sends him to the No Hope Sanatorium for an operation that is supposed to cure drinking. Dr. Hampton prepares to cut. Fatty's escape, a nurse disguise, and a footrace all happen under the anesthetic. He wakes on the operating table and finds the breakout was a dream.
