Their sojourn leads them to a secluded site adjacent to an erstwhile abode of moonshiners, who, in a last-ditch effort to evade Prohibition authorities, disposed of their contraband by inundating a proximate well with copious quantities of illicit liquor.

Unaware of the tainted nature of the water source, Stan and Ollie unwittingly incorporate it into their daily regimen, employing it for culinary purposes, most notably in the preparation of coffee.

Stan's discernment of an anomalous hue in the potable fluid elicits Ollie's dismissive ascription of its peculiarity to the purportedly endemic presence of iron in mountainous aquifers, ostensibly fortifying its therapeutic efficacy for the nervous system.

Upon the husband's return, the unforeseen inebriation of the trio precipitates a crescendo of discord, culminating in a sequence of retaliatory antics, emblematic of a "tit for tat" paradigm.

The ensuing chaos is epitomized by the destruction of the travelers' domicile, the ignominious treatment of the aggrieved husband, and Ollie's inadvertent immersion in the well, catalyzing an explosive denouement.
