A lighthearted slapstick comedy about two vagrants and a drunk finding unexpected refuge, built entirely on physical humor and good-natured mischief.

Ordered out of town by angry Judge Beaumont, vagrants Stanley and Oliver meet a congenial drunk who invites them to stay at his luxurious mansion. The drunk can't find his key, but the boys find a way in, sending the surprised woman inside into a faint.
