He calls the attendant who is the nurse and maid also, and who is in the gymnasium with a crowd of girls and tells him to take the patient upstairs to his room and treat him nicely. The attendant wheels him upstairs and on hearing the bell, lets go of the chair which rolls down the stairs. While he attends to another patient, the former one has found his way into the gymnasium and is having a great time with the girls. The attendant finds him, knocks him on the head with a club, puts him in his chair, pushes it with so much force that it goes upstairs and the patient is thrown onto the bed. Another patient wishes to take a steam bath, but the attendant forgets to turn off the steam. The patient screams for help, the doctor hears and rushes to her rescue. She, in her wrath, shuts him in the bath where he is found by the attendant. The attendant takes to his heels, the doctor after him, goes into the gymnasium, quarrels with another patient and they decide to fight. Swords are used and the attendant is getting so badly prodded that gloves are decided on. First one gets knocked and then the other, this goes on until the doctor puts the content of a glue pot on the attendant's chair. He tries to get up and at last succeeds but has a spring attached to his pants which won't come off. Every time he falls he bounces up, much to the enjoyment of his opponent who hits him every time. At last he gets worsted and the attendant wins, and there is a chase after him. He escapes down the dumb waiter, one patient is sent after him, the attendant pushes the patient in the dumb waiter. The others, thinking he is the attendant, club him; one by one they go down the waiter and each in turn is clubbed. They recover and continue the chase, the attendant disguises himself as one of the gymnasium girls, but he is discovered and beaten up. Written by
