A lighthearted silent-era comedy built on physical humor and the mischievous camaraderie of two bumbling friends caught in a scheme that predictably unravels.

Stan fakes receiving a telegram so he can go to a club with Ollie and a bottle of his unsuspecting wife's liquor, but she overhears his plans.
