Miss Sophie Clutts graduates from the Dental Correspondence School and decides to start out for herself, to hang a shingle in some neighboring town and make her living by pulling both the teeth and the legs of the community. She is idly dreaming in the stage that is carrying her to Snakeville, when she is suddenly awakened by the command, "Hands up," and a burly outlaw steps up to her relieving the female dentist of a few fillings in the way of chocolate creams. Sophie finally arrives in town, purchases an outfit, rents a dental parlor, hangs out her shingle and waits for business. Several of the Beau Brummels about the post office had taken a slant at Sophie as she entered her office and were taking great pains that they should see her. The pains were greater when they left the office, however, and they swore that it was painful to know her. Sophie finally captures the outlaw, whose suffering from a troublesome tooth on account of the candy he had appropriated from Sophie, necessitated his calling on her. Sophie is given the reward money and hastily leaves town for other parts, much to the bewilderment and relief of the Snakeville inhabitants.
