ynopsis

Dentist Dr. Myron Mandel has problems with self-esteem. As he talks to office neighbor Psychiatrist Walter Pinkham, Myron states that it feel like his patients shrink from his touch. The psychiatrist shoos Myron out of his office. Upon returning to his own office, Myron tells his receptionist to send home the waiting patients claiming he is sick. The receptionist has had enough, calls the office depressing, and quits. As he tries to hang himself, another patient, Lydia, comes to the office looking for a hairbrush she lost the day before. Myron gets up the nerve to ask her out, but she rejects him. After she leaves, he again tries to hang himself but the light fixture that the noose is attached to breaks. He is caught by a burly man who identifies himself as the tooth fairy. Myron wishes that Lydia would fall madly in love with him and that he would have many patients who would like him. His wish is granted, however it does not turn out like he hopes; he becomes tired and overworked, and Lydia always wants to make love. Myron decides to run away from his new life and boards a freight train. On board are a group of hobos who identify themselves as ex-dentists. They state that with them not around, the tooth fairy gets more business.
