Sailors Laurel and Hardy arrive in a coastal town and secure accommodation at a budget hotel under the proprietorship of Mugsy Long, characterized by his rough demeanor.

Observing this, Laurel and Hardy initially resolve to intervene but reconsider when faced with Long's formidable presence, as evidenced by the ineffectiveness of projectiles hurled at him.

However, during the arrival of a judge for the impending wedding ceremony, Stan seizes the opportunity to liberate the trapped maid by obtaining the closet key, inciting a pursuit during which he facilitates her escape.

Subsequently, Laurel and Hardy realize they left their funds in their hotel room but are offered $50 by an acquaintance of Ollie's to engage in a boxing match later that evening.

Stan, feeling betrayed, inadvertently incapacitates the investigating officer while attempting to confront Ollie, prompting a hasty retreat.
