Plot

Brace yourself!

In The Dentist
, Dr. Alan Feinstone was sentenced to life in a maximum security mental hospital. At the opening of this movie, we see him in the hospital talking to the facilities Psychiatrist. He is remembering the murders he committed in his own mind, while convincing the doctor that he doesn’t really remember the man who did those evil things.

Doctor is so wrapped up in his story that she doesn’t notice him pull out a small sharp object from a stitched up wound that he reopens in his leg. He uses it to hold up against her neck, to take her as a hostage out of the hospital.

Meanwhile, we discover that Brooke is alive and well, if you don’t count the missing tongue and inability to utter a word. She hires an investigator to find out where Alan has disappeared to since his escape. She believes that he had been putting away money before he went crazy. Brooke has in her possession some postcards that Alan had left behind, she believes he is in one of those places and sends the investigator to find her husband.

Dr. Alan Feinstone is now planting himself back in the small town of Paradise, trying to resume a normal life. We even learn that he is now going by Dr. Lawrence (Larry) Caine instead. Mr. Wilkes, the bank officer introduces Larry to his niece Jamie, hoping that she can rent out her small cottage for Larry to live in.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to realize that Jamie is going to become a target to Larry’s affections. She looks almost like Brooke and seems to be the perfect. Unfortunately, Larry also has problems with a cap on one of his teeth and must go see the inept town dentist. Larry does not take a liking to Dr. Burns, especially when the cap falls back off after only about an hour.

Here we see the beginning of Larry’s rage once again. The dentist ends up accidentely falling down the stairs and there is no one to run the office. Mr. Wilkes convinces Larry that he should take over in that capacity.
