Musty Suffer is taking a nap in the middle of the road. A stranger loads him into a wheelbarrow, which breaks and sends him into a dream where he falls into the hands of Doctors Hickory and Nutt: specialists in imagination. They proceed to feed him meals which vanish, have him go to bed and wake him up a minute later, tell him he has slept twelve hours and take him on sleigh rides on a block of ice.

The world of Musty Suffer is a filthy, violent very funny world that makes use of the same techniques that Melies had used a decade earlier, but to sadistic, hilarious effect. You'll laugh like mad, you'll cry in sympathy and you'll undergo decades of therapy before you get it out of your head.

I love Silent short comedies but this is the first Musty Suffer Film. I found it hard to pay attention as it just wasn't very compelling. I'm not surprised that this film is hard to find. I watched it on YouTube as the second program item in Ben Model's Silent Comedy Watch Party (Episode #11). You can probably catch it there too if you'd like.
