Revenge Is SweetSynopsis
A dentist is desperate for patients. His wife has an idea how he might acquire them. She meets some men in the street and takes them to their flat where, just at the right moment, they are caught by her jealous husband. Naturally they pretend that they have come to have their teeth pulled out. Finally all of them conspire against the dentist in front of the house and throw themselves at the poor man.
Note
The film was based on an animated series which was published in Fliegende Blätter. Information about the film was provided during an interview with Václav Piskáček and Katy Kaclová-Vališová. (J. S. Kolár – Myrtil Frída: Československý němý film 1989–1930 / J. S. Kolár – Myrtil Frída: Czechoslovak silent film 1989–1930)
