Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mrs. Giddy had a mole on the side of her face. That it should no longer stand in the way of her husband’s love, she called up Dr. Soakum, by whose treatment blemishes, warts, and moles vanished as the clouds before the sun. That was where burglar Pete stepped in, but Mrs. Giddy’s maid summoned Giddy. So ended Pete’s pose as a burglar, and thus came the end of Dr. Soakum. “Beauty is only skin deep,” Giddy said, but his actions might be differently construed.
