Comedy about a lawn mower that goes out of control.

Comedy. A man reads an advert for the 'little more motor mower'. He lights a cigarette and settles down for a nap. A salesman comes to the door with a demonstration model and after a try-out the man buys it. After a few false starts the mower assumes a life of its own and enters the house through a first floor bedroom window. The man is awakened by a cigarette burning his fingers and he realises that he has been dreaming.
