Synopsis
Convivial idler Rip Van Winkle, disappointed in life because of domestic unhappiness, roams the Catskill Mountains where some strange little folk give him a drink that brings on a deep sleep. Twenty years later he awakens, unaware that he is an old man; discovers that times and surroundings have changed; and eventually is reunited with his wife, who has been tamed by an ill-tempered second husband.
