Son of a Gun
A farce of comic characters, full of dream-like impossible doings that compel laughter through being so impossible. One of the characters is in a room where a bomb is exploded. He is blown up through the chimney, takes a jump from the roof and lands on a horse quietly waiting below and gallops off. The whole story is of this same material.
