Plot

Amidst the economic turmoil of the Great Depression, the Stooges, facing dire unemployment, embark on a desperate quest for livelihood. Their initial endeavor, to undertake menial labor sweeping a merchant's sidewalk, unwittingly ensnares them in a case of mistaken identity, as they are erroneously accused of theft by the irate merchant. Fleeing from the scene, the trio inadvertently find themselves pursued by law enforcement authorities.
