It certainly was a poor town in which a doctor might expect to earn an honest living. Dr. Schultz soon came to this conclusion. Although patients were scarce in Grizzly Gulch, women were still more scarce. It was for this reason that the men folks made much of Dr. Helen Hurtmore when she arrived and nailed out her shingle. Dr. Schultz soon noticed with interest, that competition had come to town. But he should worry. The very idea that she should expect to find business in such a healthy locality tickled him. But Grizzly Gulch suddenly becomes unhealthy; that is, apparently. The boys discover themselves afflicted with unknown ailments, invented as excuses to be served soothing syrups by the new lady doctor. Dr. Schultz witnesses the extraordinary action of the male populace, and determines that his business rival shall not corral all the business. Taking advantage of his physical qualities, Dr. Schultz disguises himself as a charming lady. He then announces himself as Dr. Gertie Cutup, successor to Dr. Schultz. His disguise completely fools the boys. He flirts outrageously and soon has them all abandoning the prudish Dr. Helen Hurtmore and flocking to his office for treatment. Business hums. The real lady doctor, however, inquires into the situation and is not long in exposing to the astounded boys. Their astonishment soon changes to resentment. They string Dr. Schultz up on a rafter then and there. But, before it is too late, the lady doctor's heart softens. She cuts down her rival. "What's the use of opposition," they decide. So they join their hearts and their sign-boards. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
