Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Guards from the asylum are hunting for a lunatic when Schultz is impressed by his wife with the necessity of finding a job. He finds one in a barber shop, where the presiding tonsorial artist has been hastily summoned away by a family visit of Dr. Stork. Schultz essays to handle razor and shears and in the process flirts with the manicurist. Victims of Schultz’s bunglesome efforts finally conclude that he is crazy. They notify the guards that the man whom they seek has turned barber. They charge the barber shop, but Schultz escapes through a window. He seeks refuge, still pursued, in the house maintained by the wife of his boss. He is about to be dragged away to the asylum when a timely message notifies the guards that the escaped lunatic has been found hiding in a sugar barrel in the asylum.
