He finds the hat just in time to see it destroyed. He goes into a shop to buy another headpiece. The clerk is one of those fellows who is always trying, but he hasn't any more idea of the kind of hat Lloyd wants than he has of the size of the polar ice cap. Lloyd tries on hunting hats, riding hats, slouch hats, derbies and helmets. He tries everything from a hat big enough for a hippo down to one too small for a worm. He finally finds one that looks alright up on a shelf but the clerk pulls the shelf and all over trying to get it. Lloyd picks a hat from the wreckage and pays the bill. No sooner is he out the door than the hat is knocked off and crushed by a street-car. Another hat is purchased and this one is smashed by a truck. A small boy with a Pogo stick accounts for the third. He gets a fourth and decides to have the pleasure of throwing that one away himself. But it comes back to him. Then he shows the trick to a policeman and finally decides to duplicate it with the policeman's cap. But the cap lands in a fire and Lloyd hastily gives him his last hat and walks away. Then Lloyd gets a job in a beauty parlor where elderly maids are made into new chickens and double chins are lifted without the aid of an elevator. Lloyd furnishes a gentleman with an egg shampoo but the eggs have passed their youthfulness, and the customer is indignant. Then he steers a heavyweight gent into a steam room when it is his wife who wants a beauty bath. Lloyd carelessly targets how long the man has been steaming. and when his patron comes out, he has melted down to the size of a midget. It's a great life. but it looks to Lloyd as though he should be getting along to a safer neighborhood. So he quits the beauty shop while he is able to go unharmed. See less
