The Human Torpedo (1911) Online
Steve liked maple syrup, so be took a can full of it before starting on a trip. While at a saloon, having a drink, he forgot the can, but did not remember it until several miles from the place. He sends word to the bartender that the can contains nitro-glycerin. So, when the bartender receives the message, the tin is carefully conveyed to the cellar, and orders are given that no noise must be made, as it might affect the can. A hobo who is given a position as porter around the saloon, happens to see the can. He takes a good drink of it, and everybody thinking that he would explode, treats him with care. He gets into a scrap with an ex-prize fighter, who delivers him a stunning blow in the solar plexus. Everybody finding that no explosion occurred, thanks the pugilist, and start in pursuit of the fleeing hobo.
