Summary
When George has an affair with Harry's wife thin's become complicated. For Harry is George's dentist and George's wife is Harry's dental reception'st. Once George's secret has been discovered, he desperately tries to cover up the affair but complicates matters by inventing stories. Harry calmly but unprofessionally treats George's teeth and gums. Visual gags, witty lin's and increasing absurdity add to the fun.
