The Great Moment plot

"Paramount's escapist laugh tonic! Hilarious as a whiff of laughing gas!"

In the winter of 1868, Eben Frost purchases a silver medal with the inscription of Dr. morton. He presents the medal to his widow, because Frost was the first person to receive anesthesia from Dr. morton. The story goes back twenty years, and highlights the heyday of Morton who invented the anesthetic. Later it turns out that this was a very simple trick and his career becomes the target of discussion.
