This unexpected blow causes Dusty to have an awful toothache, and the two, after administering gasoline and various other sedatives, go to the dentist's office. Being broke, the dentist kicks them out, and they seek food and consolation from a friendly garbage can. The dentist is now summoned on board Mr. Richfeller's private yacht, "The Yale," to fill an aching void in Mr. Richfeller's tooth, and while fuming with his rich patient, the steamer leaves port and the dentist is forced to make a sea voyage of several weeks. Meanwhile, with the aid of skeleton keys, the tramps enter the dentist's office. Weary quietly removes Dusty's aching tooth with an ice tong. Now, being unable to leave on account of the patients who mistake them for the real dentist, the tramps conceive the idea of making some money by remaining dentists. Their gentle methods, with cold chisel, hammers, etc., win them all the trade, and when the old dentist returns, he finds them jewel-bedecked and lordly in sumptuous new offices. Unable to get his old footing, the dentist and his faithful assistant are forced to take to tramping. The now prosperous tramps see the dentist and his assistant "shooting snipes" in the street in front of their offices, and the old longing for the "road" takes them. Calling the dentist and his assistant, they make them a proposition, whereby the two tramps exchange clothes with the dentist and his assistant, and with pockets bulging with bills, they find contentment by a small camp fire with some second-hand cigars.
