Description

This silent home movie begins with a title card, "DL DanLo Presents." In this amateur theatrical production, an unidentified boy is digging through a bedroom closet and finds a bottle of an unknown liquid and takes a sip. Stop-motion special effects show footprints leading away. William Wallace Daniel then appears to chug from another bottle. More footprints lead down the stairs and are replaced by the boy. Both boys rubs their tummies, and William places a bottle back in the liquor cabinet. The unidentified boy looks out the window, becomes startled, takes another drink, and runs up the stairs. He apparently falls back down them.  William is also startled and runs away. Both boys dramatically exit and enter the room. William suffers and also falls down on the floor. The other boy takes the bottle out of his pocket and throws it on the ground.
