Healthy and Happy is a 1919 American silent short comedy film directed by Noel M. Smith featuring Jimmy Aubrey and Oliver Hardy.
Plot
According to the copyright description,[1] "Jimmy trips through the rain and mud, until he comes upon Dr. Nerve, who is coaxing his "canon hall express", in the form of a two-seater, to move on, Jimmy meets Kellie, the nifty nurse and flirts with her. He is chased from the hospital by Dr. Nerve. Wishing to be near the nurse, he tries to wreck himself, finally enters the hospital through the aid of one of the doctor's tools. Unable to cover the expense of his examination, he is forced to work it out. His novel way of treating the patients, and the final break with the doctor make a very humorous story. In the automobile chase that ensues, the police join in, and the picture fades out on the ambulance carrying Jimmy, after his collision with the other two cars."
