14 weeks behind on their board, and just sacked from their musical orchestra, Stan and Ollie suddenly find themselves kicked out onto the street, where they attempt to put their tuneful “talents” to use busking for change – but run-ins with a police officer, a drunk, and a sewer worker ensure that things run anything but smoothly, and before long, nerves frayed, a fight breaks out between them, soon escalating to engulf the entire street in a dance-like shin-kicking orgy, in this inventive, oft hilarious silent Laurel and Hardy short.
