Mr. Phil Culture provokes his friends by boasting of his remarkable strength and physical perfection. In order to get even, four of his friends decide to play a joke on him. One at a time they meet him and each man tells Mr. Culture that he looks ill. By the time the fourth man greets him with the same information, he is so worked up that he is really beginning to feel ill, and presently has to be assisted to his home, where he is put to bed and the doctor called. His friends waylay the doctor and let him in on the job. Mr. Phil Culture "comes to," however, when he overhears his friends talking and laughing about him. His strength returns, and getting out of bed, "cleans up" the bunch.
