Mighty Like A Moose
Phyllis Coates is going away for a couple of weeks with her mother, and husband George O'Hanlon shakes her hand goodbye -- they each have hideous, protruding teeth. In truth, she going to plastic surgeon Fritz Feld to get her teeth fixed.... and so is George. When they get out, they go to a bar separately....and fall in love with each other.
It's an old comedy plot, dating at least back to D. W. Griffith in A MASKED BALL. The best-known take on it is the Charley Chase short MIGHTY LIKE A MOOSE, in which Charley has his teeth fixed, and movie wife Vivien Oakland has her nose fixed.
It's a typically funny entry in the JOE MCDOAKES series, and yes, Fritz Feld does his patented mouth-popping shtick.
