The Fixer-Uppers
Door-to-door greeting card salesmen Stanley and Oliver call upon Mrs. Pierre Gustave, a woman distraught over her husband's neglect.
They agree to her plan to reclaim her husband's affection by making him jealous. But when Gustave arrives and finds his wife and Oliver in a tight embrace, he presents Oliver with his card and challenges him to a duel.
Men O’War
Two sailors on leave, Stanley and Oliver meet two girls at a park and invite them to have a soda. Unfortunately, the boys have only enough money to split theirs, a point which Oliver can't seem to get across to his friend.
That problem is solved when Stanley hits the jackpot on a slot machine. Now they have enough money to hire a boat. What could possibly go wrong?
The Live Ghost
A gruff sea captain, who absolutely detests the word "ghost," is having trouble manning his ship because of the rumour it's... well... haunted.
He tricks Stanley and Oliver into helping him shanghai a crew from the sailors at a dockside bar. The comic duo accomplish this by using one of the funniest devices ever put into a movie, and of course it all goes wrong.
