A lighthearted silent comedy built entirely on physical humor and the affectionate rapport between two bumbling partners caught in an absurd, escalating predicament.

While changing clothes in a getaway car, escaped convicts Stan and Ollie mistakenly put on each other's pants. They spend the rest of the film trying to exchange pants in various unlikely settings.
