Neither of them has had a case in ages, and both are down at the mouth and at the heels. Dr. Kay goes away and forgets his bag and Adsom Claus goes out in search of him, taking the bag so that he can return it. Mrs. Sickler has a bilious attack and her niece hurries out for a physician. Along ambles Lawyer Claus with Dr. Kay's bag and Mrs. Sickler's ward thinks that he is a sure-enough M.D. To be sure, Adsom protests against going into the house, but when a rich lady's ward happens to be mighty pretty and when one happens to be mighty nearly broke, "Oh, well, I'll take a chance," says the lawyer. Of course he examines Mrs. Sickler and gives her medicine. And he's a mighty lucky fellow, this Adsom Claus. He gives the lady strychnine but he is fortunate enough to give her an overdose. Meanwhile, the real Dr. Kay has returned to Adsom's office to get his bag and is in there when in wanders petite Felice Terpsichore, weight, 350 pounds net. She wants to divorce her hubby so Dr. Kay takes both her case and her money and tells her to come around some other time. Claus then comes in and they relate the experiences they have had. Adsom is preparing Felice's divorce case when in comes her husband, also seeking a divorce. Adsom is just about to take his case and his fee when he sees his wife. Then there is a lively mix-up. But what does this matter in the end when Dr. Kay marries the wealthy Mrs. Sickler; Adsom Claus weds the pretty and equally wealthy ward, and Felice keeps her little lambkin.
