Couldn't Hurt

Grandfather, finding out he's past it, goes to a pharmacy and gets some pills to pep him up, When his grandson gobbles them by the handful, he finds he is as strong as four ordinary adults.... and takes advantage of the fact.

It's a full reel of the youngster flaunting his newfound strength, tossing bureaus around and upsiding laden park benches, but they're all ultimately one joke, and the variation is too minor from one to the next, and it begins to pall before the end. However, the last gag is the "star shot" of the short, and it's a good one.
