In RKO's "The Newlyweds Take a Chance", there's a funny plot element that you've likely seen before. A man has just gotten a physical for an insurance policy and he soon overhears what he THINKS are the results....and he thinks he's dying! This is because soon after Bob (Scott Elliott) receives his insurance physical, the wife asks the same doctor about the health of her sickly dog. THIS is what Bob hears. And so, when the doctor later sends instructions and medication for the dog, Bob thinks it's all for him.
While this is not a brilliant comedy (mostly because the actors didn't seem like comedians), it is funny and the short well worth your time.
