A lighthearted carnival romp built on slapstick comedy and the clash between two vaudeville legends, celebrating mischief and con-artistry over sentiment.

Fields plays "Larsen E. Whipsnade", the owner of a shady carnival that is constantly on the run from the law. Whipsnade is struggling to keep a step ahead of foreclosure, and clearly not paying his performers, including Bergen and McCarthy, who try to coax money out of him, or in McCarthy's case, steal some outright.
