Busy Bodies

Stan and Ollie embark on their journey to their new employment at the sawmill with a sense of enthusiasm, traveling in their Ford Model T. Their vehicle, equipped with a makeshift car radio in the form of a wind-up phonograph beneath the hood, provides entertainment along the way.

Upon arrival, their day at the sawmill commences with a series of slapstick mishaps, including inadvertent encounters with wooden planks and a comical entrapment of Ollie's hands in a window frame by Stan.

Subsequently, Ollie finds himself propelled through a ventilator duct and out of an attic vent, prompting Stan to come to his aid by ascending a ladder.

However, their rescue attempt takes a calamitous turn when a barrel of shellac is dislodged, causing Stan and Ollie to plummet from the vent port along with the ladder.

Meanwhile, bystanders below are caught in the chaos, with one falling into a vat of whitewash and the other seeking refuge in a shed, which is subsequently destroyed upon impact.
