A man pranks his friend by putting shaving cream on his hands and face while he's asleep. The friend then gets revenge by making the prankster his waiter at a restaurant and pranking him with alphabet soup that spells "SOUP IS POISONED." The prankster then wakes up from the dream and finds shaving cream on his face.
