Dr. Hippo, after trying to persuade the cowed Slim to assert his divine rights, explains what amnesia is and how it frequently develops a dual personality in the one afflicted, the resulting personality being the very opposite of the normal self of the one afflicted. Slim quickly "gets the idea," and after bandaging Slim's head, Dr. Hippo escorts him home and informs Mrs. Slim that he has met with an accident, developed amnesia, and must be humored or he will likely become dangerous. Slim, feigning his "other self," starts in on the one merry period of his life, and gratifies all of his previously-denied desires. Mrs. Slim, frightened at some of Slim's stunts, flees panic-stricken to Dr. Hippo's office, but fails to find that eminent medical authority. Awaiting Dr. Hippo's return. Mrs. Slim discovers a treatise on amnesia and makes the interesting discovery that "often another blow on the same spot as the one causing the original injury restores the patient to his normal condition." Mrs. Slim decides on a "home cure" and lands on Slim with the family hammer until Slim admits that he is cured. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
