Meanwhile, Hairbreadth Harry observes the whole scene, and he hides the money for Belinda. But while Rudolph keeps Harry and Belinda occupied, his henchmen are already going about the job of stealing the money.

When a convict forcibly changes places with our hero Stan, he's taken to the pokey in the prisoner's place. Run-ins with pies, pickaxes, and the electric chair follow. Will the warden find Stan innocent or presume him guilty?

Stan Laurel plays a Chinese laundryman and he displays some good physical slapstick reminiscent of his days with the Karno troupe in England.

It's 3:00 AM at the Firewater Club, and Stanley has had more than enough to drink.

But it's not long before Stanley causes another disruption anyway, and when he then tries to dance with the manager's wife, the manager's patience finally runs out.
