Thicker Than Water

Oliver faces his wife's anger when a furniture payment is missed because he gave the money to Stanley, who spent it on room and board with Mrs. Hardy. Following Stan's advice, Ollie withdraws the couple's savings, but at an auction he inadvertently bids almost the entire amount on a grandfather clock that is soon destroyed by a passing truck. Mrs. Hardy then accidentally causes serious injuries to Ollie, who is rushed to the hospital for a blood transfusion. The doctor forces Stan to be the unwilling donor, and problems during the transfusion leave Stan and Ollie appearing to have morphed into each other.
