21.8 min. (Short Subject)

Hitching a ride on a street cleaner wagon, Henry and Elmer (Shemp Howard and Roscoe Ates) return home after their latest all-night drinking binge. Waiting for them at home are their wives and battle axe mother-in-law wielding a rolling pin. Hoping to sneak in unnoticed, the boys accidentally break into the apartment of their neighbors, a professional wrestler and his wife. Realizing their mistake, and hoping to keep their bones intact, Elmer and Henry escape onto a 17th story ledge in their drunken stupor, and attempt to get home through the window.
