Why Worry?
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!"
