Sallie Sloppus, the maid-of-all-work in the Cimp household, discovers that Cimp, Jr., has cut a tooth. Prof. Cimp is notified of the epochal event and, ignoring the advice of wife, maid, and mother-in-law, goes forth to find the proper article on which his son and heir should cut his teeth. He meets Willie Wise and Harry Pepper, who convince him that the only safe thing for a baby to cut his teeth on is the wishbone of a cuckoo and set him off to find one. He meets with many wild adventures, and when he returns home early the following morning and meets the wife, who has awaited his arrival throughout the night, he experiences even more exciting ones.
