He goes to Doc for relief, and Doc prescribes a tonic. It is to be taken in teaspoonful doses, but after leaving the office, Shultz's continued stomach ache and his liking for the tonic leads him to thrown the spoon away and tackle the contents of the bottle without heed to consequences. He happens to meet the consul from France, who is out strolling with his wife. Shultz's actions towards the latter's pretty wife arouse the ire of the hot-blooded ambassador and he challenges Shultz to a duel to be fought the next dawn. He does not even take it seriously when he later meets the consul from Russia, who also is out for a stroll with his wife. Again Shultz is challenged to fight at dawn. He goes home in a mighty hilarious condition and dreams. In his dreams he meets the clever foreign duelists, and decidedly gets the worst of the fray. He awakens and, finding the consul's cards, breaks out into a horrible sweat of apprehension. He calls on the doctor to help him out of the mess. The doctor promises to do his best. The next morning, bright and early, they go to the proposed meeting place, and hide under the dirt and fallen leaves, a metal mat that is connected to a hidden spot behind a nearby bush by a powerful electrical shocking device. When the hot-blooded foreigners put in their appearance and take their places in succession before the composed, nonchalant Shultz, they prove their ability very nicely, but the fatal stab never takes place. The doctor, from his point of vantage, merely presses the button and the powerful electrical current does the rest. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
