ollie is in the county hospital with a broken leg. stan pays him a visit (he did not have anything "else" to do) bearing a "thoughtful" gift of a bag of hard-boiled eggs and nuts. ollie complains he cannot eat hard-boiled eggs or nuts and asks stan why he did not bring a box of candy. stan explains boxes of candy cost too much and that ollie did not pay him for the last box he had brought him. while eating an egg, stan knocks over a jug of water and ollie hits him on the head with a bedpan.
