 Two old cronies, one a phlegmatic Dutchman, are sitting at a table. The Dutchman fails to see a joke in the paper, so his companion tries a realistic joke by pouring the contents of a bottle of ink into the Dutchman s pipe. The latter starts to smoke and gets a mouthful of ink. He quickly avenges himself, however, by blowing the ink into his companion s face. An exceedingly laughable finish.
