One day four college students out for a lark see her sign and look upon the idea of a woman doctor as a huge joke. Later on they see some boys playing with a discarded clothing store dummy and decide to play a trick on the female doctor. Removing the wooden arm from the dummy they repair to their room where Tom has it fastened to his shoulder while the others send Dr. Alice Morse a hurry call to set Tom's broken arm. She arrives in due time, makes a hasty examination and proves herself equal to the occasion by gravely announcing the case to be a serious one; she quickly departs to bring her "surgical instruments," and at the same time requests her brother, a powerful athlete, to accompany her. The college boys gleefully chuckle over the success of their practical joke, but when they see the female doctor upon her return calmly and deliberately mending Tom's broken arm with a saw, hammer and nails, they are at first amazed and then nonplussed. The climax is reached when she presents her bill for professional services rendered. The astounded students now try to explain it was only a joke, but she cannot see it in that light. Her big brother takes a hand and by a most convincing argument compels them to pay the bill in good, hard cash. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
