Mrs. Muriel Jones' dog is sick and she calls the vet. Muriel is also having her husband examined for more insurance. Not insurance... more insurance. Mr. Jones gets the vet's call but assumes it is the insurance doctor prescribing for him whatever it is that he needs to take in order for Muriel to get more insurance on him. The prescription (for the dog) is a diet of raw meat, castor-oil and grass. Yard grass. Mr. Jones, not being one who would hinder his ever-loving sweetie from getting more insurance on him, is soon discovered in the garden eating grass. This tends to make Muriel and Hilda the Maid figure that Jones has gone nuts so Muriel calls in a psychiatrist named Dr. Brunschweiger, and the next thing that happens is that Mr. Jones is being hauled off to the Vet's in a dog wagon.
