A heavy weight is attached to pulleys and the forceps hooked onto a cord. Thus the tooth is pulled automatically. Naturally such effective treatment spoils the business of a rival dentist. So the latter plots to discredit his colleague. His scheme is to use tooth cement to keep the teeth firm and foil the pulley machine. Snub gets a real inspiration, by attaching the rope to a trolley car and then to the door knob and as the police enter the tooth is extracted. Written by Motion Picture News, May 27, 1922 See less
