Plot
A dwarf named Ramone dates an abusive lover named Doris who wants him to make money. Ramone tries to practice for a musical stand-up comedy act, but he is not funny. After testing his hackneyed jokes numerous times in front of Doris, she finally gets fed up and hits him in the face with her purse, causing his harmonica to go down his throat and choke him to death while Doris laughs, thinking his choking is part of the act. Before she finally realizes he's actually choking, it's too late. Ramone fell to the floor and died.
