It is based on the 1908 play Home from the Honeymoon by Arthur J. Jefferson, Stan Laurel's father, and is a remake of their earlier silent film (and debut as an "official" duo) Duck Soup.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy find themselves pursued by a tenacious police officer, initially misidentified as vagrants loitering in a park.

However, confronted with the persistent presence of the officer, Stan adopts a strategy of prolonging their interaction to divert attention, inadvertently endearing themselves to the Plumtrees.

A madcap pursuit ensues, culminating in a fortuitous encounter with a passing tram that dismantles their bicycle, leading to an emergence astride unicycles as they pedal toward an uncertain conclusion.
