He tries all sorts of remedies, but is unable to alleviate his pain. He finally ties a rope to the gas jet, thinking he can pull it out by walking away but instead pulls the equipment from the ceiling and floods the house with the odor. Commotion reigns and most of the tenants suffocate. He then tries other stunts which succeed only in generally breaking up the house. He dives out of the window onto a woman washing and precipitates her into the tub. Still suffering he runs out into the street where he gets into an argument with a young man and they engage in fisticuffs. During the battle the young man hits Charlie on the jaw and knocks the bad tooth out, whereupon Charlie embraces him joyfully. Written by
