Summary

Pathe synopsis: How about the dream of Mr. Green? He’s a farmer who tried out a swinging health-bed - designed to give the body relaxed, unconscious exercise. And while he swung gently to and fro he dreamed of his pigs swinging gently to and fro. And his dream came true. And his swinging pigs are healthier, hungrier and heavier.
