Uncle develops a bad toothache, and while at the dentist's falls desperately in love with Ruth and decides to marry her. He tells Billy that he no longer objects and he may marry whom he wishes, and he will do the same. Billy rushes joyously to Ruth and they arrange to marry that afternoon. On the way out they meet uncle and when he learns that they are on their way to be married he is furious and threatens to disown Billy and cut him off without a cent. This threat immediately puts an end to their marriage intentions, and Ruth dejectedly goes back to the office, where she finds the dentist overjoyed at her return.
