Overview
A huge fly is bothering an old gentleman, who is trying to take a nap. The old gentleman, after standing the torment as long as he can, jumps up and taking a shot-gun, fires at the fly and blows it to pieces, then goes back to bed to sleep in peace. The idea is a very good one, and is very well worked out.
