Simon's boss receives a letter from Dill Pickle Play Co., asking why he sends him Roman costumes instead of South African effects. Simon's boss gives him "rats." He dares not talk back to the boss and accordingly goes into the costume room and punches the heads off the lay figures. Twenty of the Roman punched personages come back to life to punish the insulter of their effigies. The outraged personages then proceed to do all kinds of things to Simon. This causes Simon's clothes to become mussed. Accordingly one of the personages gets a heavy hot iron and irons the clothes, and incidentally Simon. They then carefully fold him up and put him into a basket. It finally turns out to be a dream. Written by
