They rob the man. Later they meet a girl with whom they flirt, and while they are trying to cut each other out with the girl, a policeman appears. They both get nervous and leave. A flirtatious dentist has a large practice, and decides to put a sign outside of the house for an assistant. He does so, then goes inside and invites a girl patient to go out with him. As they are ready to go, Rube and Evans come along and see the sign. Both go in to get the job. Evans lands it. The dentist and the girl go out leaving the place in charge of Evans. Rube and Evans then proceed to rob the patients, while they are busy robbing one, the girl of the park enters the private office. Again they both try to make a fuss over her. She informs them that she is the wife of the absent dentist. In the meanwhile, the husband of the girl that the dentist is out with, sees his wife and the dentist, bawls out the dentist who hurries away and returns to the office. There he sees Rube and Evans trying to hug his wife. This is too much, so he pulls his trusty revolver from his pocket and starts shooting. Rube and Evans start to run from one room to another. Each of the patients whom they have robbed discover their loss and return, arriving in time to block them at the different exits. They finally get away and while they are dividing up their ill-gotten gains, they discover that they have seated themselves at the side of a sleeping policeman. He awakens, only to be caught by the dentist and pursuing patients. After being roughly handled, the policeman enters and gives the plunder to the patients, and everything is once again all right, with the exception that the run of hard luck has drive both Rube and Evans away.
