'At a crowded New York intersection, Ernest Bowers (Ralph Barry) was knocked down. He appeared to be dead and his body was taken to the morgue. In his jacket pocket was a letter stating that he was cataleptic, but the jacket was stolen and sold by a dealer that same afternoon. His wife and doctor could not be reached by telephone, and no one at the morgue knew about his case, so an immediate post mortem was ordered. Had it not been for the persistence of a kindly woman it would have been carried out—and that would have been the end of Ernest Bowers.'
