The Doctored Dinner Pail (1909) User Reviews

In making sport of a steam roller is original

[deickemeyer · 14 September 2014]

An Edison comedy which shows a workman eating his noon-day luncheon and taking copious draughts from a pail by his side. Another workman engaged in oiling a steam roller near pours a quantity of oil from his oiler into the pail. The next drink is enough. When the engineer's back is turned the workman pours the contents of the pail into the water tank of the engine. Then when the roller starts it becomes intoxicated and does a number of curious stunts for a huge steam roller. It finally runs over the workman who doctored the tank and flattens him out completely. A doctor is summoned and securing a bicycle pump he pumps the crushed clothing full of air and the workman walks away. It is a fun producer and in making sport of a steam roller is original. - The Moving Picture World, May 15, 1909
