The Runaway Horse

A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy built around a simple, physical premise: a horse's chaotic energy unleashed by overeating.

A laundry man parks his horse-drawn cart to make a delivery. While he is inside, his horse sees a bag of oats and starts to eat them. By the time the man comes back outside, the horse has eaten a whole bag of oats, and has so much energy that he begins to race out of control.
