Description
This print begins with the title card for a different comedy short, Izzie and Lizzie Ain't We Got Fun, but has been identified as A Citrate Special, a scatalogical comedy set on a film lot.
A movie prop man (Martin Wolfkeil) plays a prank by coating the set's apples in croton oil. The film's director (Thurston Hall) unwittingly takes a bite of one of the oil-coated apples and has to rush to the bathroom. All of the bathroom stalls are full so the director hides behind some bushes to find relief.
