A lighthearted silent comedy short built on physical gags, slapstick antics, and absurdist humor in a general store setting.

Customers and clerks frolic in a general store. Roscoe walks out of the freezer wearing a fur coat, then does some clever cleaver tossing. In Buster's film debut he buys a pail of molasses.
