This is a cartoon short from 1916. Mr. Nobody Holme appears to be a total idiot, as he foolishly puts a flame under his car to see why it won't start. And, very oddly, the idea comes from this bizarre little creature (labeled "GLOOM") that encourages this dangerous behavior. But, then, out of the blue, another odd creature (labeled "JOY") appears and begins fighting with the first and shoots him! It reminded me of the little angel and devil you see in later films that try to encourage characters to do good or evil--but in this case, it's more just to do something really stupid. Oddly enough, the flame actually works and the car starts--it looks like the dead little creature was right. That is, until the car later blows up. An oddly watchable and simple film with only the most rudimentary type of animation.
