A lighthearted Laurel and Hardy comedy romp through wartime scams and cons, driven by physical comedy and the duo's bumbling charm as they stumble into helping the innocent.
The two-man Laurel and Hardy Zoot Suit Band find themselves fronting a scam for "gasolene pills" in wartime oil-short America. They are however soon on the side of the angels helping recover $10,000 for an attractive young lady whose family have themselves been swindled.
