Stan and Ollie are musicians whose antics at a band concert end in their employment being terminated, and they must turn to busking to make ends meet. However, playing on street corners proves to be more perilous than they had imagined.
Members of a municipal band, Stanley and Oliver seem to be always following someone else's lead, rather than that of the temperamental conductor. Soon they're out of a job, as well as their lodgings when the landlady finds out they've been fired. The boys try their luck at being street musicians, but the tiffs they get into with each other soon spread to passersby in general, until the street is filled with men pulling each other's pants off.—Paul Penna <tterrace@wco.com>
