Harold plays an ingenious but not very successful doctor. Imbibing with a colleague a powerful home-brewed whisky, he stumbles into a high-rise hotel and encounters a pretty sleepwalker high on a window ledge. There follows one of Harold’s most frightening routines as he tries to save her from falling. Accompanying this scene is one of Bellini’s most beautiful melodies from his opera La Sonnambula, ‘Ah non Credea Mirarti’
