A lighthearted silent comedy romp about two friends' misadventures on a night out, built entirely on physical gags, mistaken circumstances, and the escalating chaos of an unpaid bill.

The boys sneak out for a night on the town, unaware that Stan's wife has switched her grocery coupons for Stan's secret stash of mad money. The boys run up a huge tab treating a couple of girls to dinner at a snazzy nightclub and much trouble ensues.
