Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mr. Browntop and Miss Kelsomine go out to play golf. They engage Andrew McTavish, a long, lean Scotchman, as caddy. After teeing the ball, Browntop hoists it with a tremendous drive into the atmosphere. They search and search, but still no ball. At length, wearied with the quest, they lie down in a haystack to sleep. They wake 20 years later, aged and forlorn, but still pursue the search through all sorts of places. The caddy, feeling the need of a wee drap, has sneaked off under a tree and fallen asleep. Mr. Browntop indignantly awakens him, telling him that he has searched half an hour and found no ball. The caddy wakes up, looks around wonderingly, and as he understands the circumstances, chuckles to himself, saying, “Mon, but it was a funny dream.”
