The Cloud Puncher
“Anyone who is familiar with the fun creating powers of hank Mann will make a pretty good guess at the mirth provoking elements that the title and the star would naturally suggest. Hank is making millions laugh with his serio-comic antics.”

He reaches the hut of a hermit inventor who is dying of thirst. The artist paints a picture of a reservoir so realistically that the water overflows and fills a cup which he holds in his hand.
