Following dismissal from two previous occupations due to dish-breaking incidents, the Stooges find themselves pursued by an irate chef wielding a cleaver, leading them to seek refuge in a dental office.

Their inaugural venture as practicing dentists leads them to a tranquil western town, where their initial patient presents with a minor tooth ailment.

Amidst mounting pressure, Shemp inadvertently consults the wrong instructional manual, namely The Amateur Carpenter in lieu of the appropriate reference material, How to Be a Dentist, thereby precipitating the adoption of inappropriate and unsuitable treatment methods.

Despite rectifying their approach, a mishap ensues during the tooth extraction procedure, exacerbating the situation and prompting the Sheriff to resort to drastic measures, culminating in a confrontation between the Stooges and the law enforcement authority.
