Summary
  • Sappo: Myrtle is laughing at John because he is selling hair growing products and he is bald. He puts a wig on his head and goes out trying to sell the product to a bald man. He tells him he didn't have any hair yesterday as he takes off his hat. The wig sticks in the hat. The man laughs at John. John goes home and looks in the mirror not understanding why the man was laughing.
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor tells Snits to go along and save himself. He can't go any further without any water. Snits keeps trying to get Castor to come along with him. He finally follows him and around a bunch of rocks a man is sitting on a bank fishing out of water. Castor jumps in the water. The man thinks he is trying to commit suicide and jumps in after him. Castor punches the man and he and Snits jump back in and fills their stomach with water.
