Synopsis: A street cleaner mistakes a baby carriage for his cleaning cart and is chased by the baby's mother and a cop. He then impersonates a dentist in an attempt to elude his pursuers.
Appraisal: This is one of the less successful of the silent comedies of that era. The story is not at all logical, and the gags are not very funny; by the way, most of them were shamelessly copied from earlier films. Still, there is always an immense historical interest in films this old.
The "Comedy Capers" copy I watched had no title, but the cable TV magazine provided the title "The Painless Dentist".
