Plots(1)
Lewis is Jerome Littlefield, an orderly at a mental hospital. Such a half-witted klutz, it's sometimes hard to tell whether he's a patient or a staff member. Jerome creates comedic havoc everywhere he goes in the sanitarium, making the nuthouse even nuttier. (official distributor synopsis)
