Luke and his partner have a head-swatting contest, in which Luke comes out second best. Chasing across a busy highway, the pal gets in the way of a sweet young lady's car and gets hit. He is taken in the car to the nearest hospital, all the way to which institution his head rests on the young lady's lap. Luke, noting the fortunate accident, endeavors to do likewise; one car misses him; the next one hits him and he is also rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. He is allotted a bed in the ward outside his pal's private room. Peeved, he makes things miserable for the "dead ones." The revengeful doctors operate on him for something that doesn't ail him. After that he becomes a demon trickster and equips himself with a quart of chloroform, and when the young lady calls to see his pal he opens the portals to dreamland via the chloroform route. The other patients attack him in close formation and receive a like free ticket to fairyland. His weapon exhausted, he is overcome by the nurses and sent to the land which Alice so well describes, when his head connects with a hammer.
