This is a very simple story. Ed Norton is walking in his sleep and because of this Ralph is being forced by Alice and Trixie to go out on the roof and lead him back to bed. But Ralph is apoplectic because of all the sleep he’s losing. The climax of the story has Ralph sleeping in Ed’s bedroom to prevent him from sleepwalking but even in his sleep Norton is too clever for Ralph and escapes. Finally Ralph summons a psychiatrist to get to the root of Norton’s problem and after being administered Pentothal he regresses to his childhood and we find out that he is pining for his lost dog Lulu. The psychiatrist thinks Norton should be psychoanalyzed for several months to ascertain the correct treatment but Ralph dismisses him and says he’s going to get Norton a dog to replace the lost Lulu.
In the final scene Trixie has come down at midnight to thank Ralph for his idea about the dog and to announce that Norton and Lulu are upstairs sleeping like babies. After she leaves Ralph announces that he should have been a psychiatrist and that he’s going to have some warm milk and get a good night’s sleep. But as Alice goes to put a milk bottle outside their door Norton sleepwalks in carrying Lulu.
Now this is a very minor episode with a very limited appeal. The scenes with Norton sleepwalking are mildly amusing but nothing more. I’d call this one of the weakest episodes in the series. Lulu!
