Plot

Deranged scientist Professor Noodle is engrossed in developing a rejuvenation elixir for over two decades, purportedly capable of reversing the aging process. Stan and Ollie, employed as chimney sweeps, enter the scene, assigned to cleanse the estate's chimney. As Oliver ascends to the rooftop, Stan, stationed below, inadvertently propels the sweep upwards, causing Oliver to tumble through the skylight. Following an arduous exchange, Stan eventually joins Ollie atop the roof, albeit mishandling the apparatus, causing a disruption in the chimney's extension. Subsequently, resorting to a rifle for assistance, Stan nearly endangers Ollie's life in a botched attempt.
