Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Stan and Ollie play proprietors of an electric store, anxious to make friends with neighboring grocer Charlie Hall. Unfortunately they'd already earned the enmity of Hall in a previous two-reeler, Them That Hills (34), and he is in no mood to bury the hatchet. When Hall accuses Hardy of fooling around with Hall's wife (Mae Busch), the mortified Ollie demands an apology. In the battle that follows, Laurel and Hardy take turns with Charlie Hall in wrecking each other's business establishment--an orgy of destruction which is carried out in a calm, orderly, and hilarious "tit for tat" fashion.
