Down and out Stan and Ollie beg for food from a friendly old lady who provides them with sandwiches. While eating, they overhear the lady's landlord tell her he's going to throw her out because she can't pay her mortgage. They don't realize that the old lady is really rehearsing for a play. Stan and Ollie decide to help the old lady by selling their car. During the auction a drunk puts a wallet in Stan's pocket. Ollie accuses Stan of robbing the old lady, but when the truth is revealed Stan takes revenge on Ollie.
A short slapstick comedy from the early sound era that runs almost entirely on misunderstandings and dry, physical humor. Stan and Ollie stumble from one mishap to the next with the best intentions, the pace is brisk and the mood gentle. What stands out is the well-worn teamwork of the pair, with Ollie's wounded dignity set against Stan's innocence.
Good for you if you like classic black and white slapstick and short, harmless comedies built around a double act.
