This Hal Roach, Laurel and Hardy short is built around one gag, Stan and Ollie escape prison, with help, and accidentally end up wearing each other's pants! They try in vain to switch back, but are constantly interrupted under the most embarrassing of possible circumstances. At one point Stan ends up with a live crab in his, resulting in frequent unscheduled uncontrollable fits. They demolish a phonograph and a large stack of records outside a music store, and somehow find themselves on top of an unfinished skyscraper before they finally set things straight. A very young Jean Harlow makes a brief appearance, getting in a cab.
