Scraps of Fun at the Hospital Ward

A fragmented vignette follows an old gentleman in a hospital accident ward offering cheer, a blinded patient arguing against cheerfulness, and a dramatic encounter where vengeance drives a man to threaten a daughter. Other scenes include a club smoking room where a distressed man fears ruin, a woman’s quip about police, and a man lamenting overdue debts as midnight nears.
