Amidst a bustling courtroom scene, Judge Harry Dunkinson extends gratitude to spectators Stan and Ollie for their pivotal testimony, instrumental in securing the conviction of notorious criminal Butch Long.

Subsequently, Butch receives a life sentence, prompting Stan's innocently impertinent inquiry regarding the absence of capital punishment.

Outside the courtroom, Stan and Ollie, perturbed by Butch's wrath, contemplate relocation and solicit a travel companion through a newspaper advertisement.

Unaware of Butch's identity, Stan and Ollie futilely attempt to liberate the trapped individual, resorting to misguided methods such as drilling holes into the trunk.

Subsequently, Stan and Ollie resort to using a firehose to extinguish the flames, inadvertently flooding the trunk and facilitating Butch's emergence.
