Some contemporary reviews stated that the quack doctor told "Willie Angle" that he had six months to live.
When overly anxious and meek clerk Willie Angle, who keeps a record of everyone who has bullied him at the office, visits a doctor, he is told that he only has two weeks to live. Unknown to Willie, the doctor is a quack, who is only after his money.
