When Lee visits Eddie in the hospital he becomes smitten with the nurses. He tells Eddie to move over to one side of the bed so that he can lie beside him. Eddie refuses. Then he tries to change places with Eddie. Eddie is willing, for he is dead anxious to see the baseball game that afternoon. The plan is spoiled when the two are seen about to change raiment, and Lee is thrown out of the place, while Eddie is put back to bed. After several attempts on the part of Eddie to get out and Lee to get in, Lee finally does get in, and the change is made. Meanwhile a new nurse and an outside doctor came on duty. The nurse is ugly, and gets her instructions mixed as well, mistaking Lee for a patient that is to have a leg cut off. Eddie is seen buying a ticket for the ball game by Edith, the pretty head nurse, who is out for an airing, and she and Gamble, who also happens along, give chase. They capture Eddie and take him hack to the hospital just in time to prevent the operation that is about to take place, thus saving Lee’s leg and getting Eddie back to bed without his seeing the game that caused most of the trouble. |
