Hank was stuck on Gertie because Gertie had given him an indifferent smile that Hank had taken seriously. When Hank saw Gertie going with Reggie he resolved that they all should die, and he took the chauffeur's place. If Hank had only killed himself, or even Gertie and Reggie immediately, the slaughter would not have been on such a large scale. But when wet pavements, careless pedestrians, cops, traffic, citizens and other impediments get in the way, the result went beyond expectations. Also, Hank tore off the side of a house in which a respectable citizen and his wife were sleeping. They were forced to run out in the yard in negligee. Hank's plan of murder took longer than expected, as he did not reach the pier until after several miles of skidding streets and many squads of pursuing policemen. The delay was worth it, as Hank treated everybody to the biggest thrill of their lives. The auto went straight over the pier, but Hank went under. Reggie and Gertie came up on a tire, but as for Hank, he never did come up. Written by
