Method in His Madness (1910)

A doddering old gentleman out for his mornings constitutional suffers an attack of epilepsy in front of a saloon in the country town Pedestrians run to his rescue and the barkeeper of the saloon brings out a good jolt of whiskey to revive the stricken one A tramp who has noted the accident has also mentally noted the glass of whiskey and being thirsty for a drink himself he turns away a brilliant scheme revolving in his mind A few minutes later the tramp in passing another saloon is seen to fall and go into violent contortions A crowd gathers and the saloonkeeper comes out with the dose of whiskey Weary is delighted and meeting an old tramp friend of his puts him wise to the little game
