1 Crestshire Country Club - Aristocratic, exclusive and expensive. Wealthy society idlers with absolutely nothing to do - come here to do it. 2 "Hello, Doctor. Have you seen Harold Van Pelham this afternoon?" 3 "Why, that young idler is as well as I am. He's a pest about his health. Some doctor has probably sent him away to get rid of him." 4 Off for Paradiso. Mr. Van Pelham has taken so many pills he rattles when he walks. 5 His Nurse - A loyal friend of long standing. She is putting her heart and soul in her work - especially her heart. 6 Mr. Pipps, the faithful valet. Somebody has told Van Pelham that a lemon would cure seasickness. 7 "Yes indeed. I have a great doctor. He says I have everything but the smallpox." 8 "Well, don't worry. I've got that." 9 Plowing a peaceful sea - and headed for the distant island of Paradiso where adventures undreamed of awaited him. 10 Fourteen lazy days and moonlit nights brought them close to the dreamy shores of Paradiso. 11 "See if I've got a fever. I'm hot all over." 12 Paradiso - A drowsy city in a dreamy land. Rip Van Winkle's twenty year sleep would be considered a nap down here. 13 Jim Blake - An American renegade, who, to further his own financial interests, has lashed the riffraff of the Republic into an out- law force - restless and eager to overthrow the government. 14 The Union Soldiers - In power so long the moths are using their gun barrels for summer homes. 15 Blake's first lieutenant is called Herculeo the Mighty. He named himself. 16 "This letter came over a month ago. We'll make it hot - red hot - for this fellow when he shows up." 17 Friday the Thirteenth saw three unsuspecting passengers set ashore at Paradiso. 18 "Here's to the downfall of the Republic!" 19 "Changeable weather you have here." 20 "Show no mercy! Spare nobody!" 21 "You run along to the hotel. I want to stroll around a bit. Everything is so calm and peaceful." 22 "I say, my good man. I've been seriously injured! Can you direct me to the hotel?" 23 "HEY! Can anybody tell me where the hotel is?" 24 "No you don't! You've got to tell me where the hotel is." 25 "Certainly, sir. I shall do more than direct you. I shall be honored to give you a military escort." 26 "Poner el perro en carcel, y tenerle all�!" [dissolves to] "Put the dog in jail, and keep him there!" 27 "You must drop over to the hotel and have lunch with me." 28 "Our men have finally captured Colosso, that wild hermit from the mountains who almost wrecked our army." 29 "If he hadn't been half crazy with a terrible toothache, we never would have captured him." 30 "Another prisoner!" 31 "Come, we'll escape." 32 "I'm in great trouble! Won't you give me some clothes - anything for a disguise." 33 "Well, isn't that nice. So you're sick, too - -" 34 "Just a minute, I need more ballast." 35 "Pipps, I'm astonished. Haven't I always told you to keep yourself neat and tidy." 36 "They're havin' a revolution, sir! A most terrible revolution, sir!" 37 "Well, tell them they'll have to stop it immediately. I came down here for a rest." 38 "You boys will have to stop this fighting. It's bad for my heart." 39 "Always look before you shoot. One can't be too careful with firearms." 40 "Well, that's done. Now we've just time to dress for dinner." 41 "Pardon me, have you seen my nurse? She'll be anxious about my condition." 42 "My nurse - girl - young lady - hat - dress - shoes - dark hair." 43 "Find her - get her - bring her to me - understand?" 44 "I'm amazed at you! Playing around this way in boy's clothes when you should be looking after my health." 45 "Pills - pills - pills! I'm sick and tired of your silly pills - -" 46 "My, you have beautiful eyes!" 47 "Isn't she wonderful?" 48 "She?" 49 "Just look, he's half killed me." 50 "Never mind - I found her myself - Dismiss the ladies." 51 "I can't tell you how grateful I am, Mr. Van Pelham." 52 "I can't understand. Isn't it strange how I wanted to fight the moment he touched you?" 53 "You know, now that I think of it, I really enjoyed protecting you." 54 "It's time for your pill, Mr. Van Pelham." 55 "Don't be afraid. I just had to teach these boys a lesson." 56 "Your friend - very sick - give him pill every two minutes - Make him take it." 57 "What's the matter with me, anyway?" 58 "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I LOVE YOU?" 59 "I never want to see another pill as long as I live!" 60 A year passed - It's an old established habit. __ Was it Shakespeare or Will Rogers who once said - "A man knoweth not the full joy of responsibility until it leapeth upon him." 61 "It's a boy!"
