Max as a Chiropodist
About Max as a Chiropodist
Max returns a young woman's dog after children make off with it, and calls the next day. Her father walks in. She had sent the real chiropodist out of the room, so Max takes the man's place. The father sits down and demands treatment for his corns. Max botches the job, the real chiropodist returns, and Max is thrown out.
