About No Noise

Mickey Daniels is in the hospital to have his tonsils out. The rest of the gang visit and get into the X-ray room and the operating room. Laughing gas knocks them flat. They try to trade places with other boys so they can have the free ice cream given to tonsil patients. The doctors catch on, and the chase runs through the hospital.
