Transforming into the personality of Mr. Pride, he terrorizes the town with unspeakable acts including stealing a boy’s ice cream, cheating at marbles, and popping a bag behind a lady pedestrian. The towns people track him down where Mr. Pride attempts to poison himself, but he drinks castor oil by mistake.
