Laurel & Hardy in a messy situation. Held by gangsters in a shack on the pier. LEad gangster’s right hand man, an ugly fellow with flat nose pours and mixes cement in two big bowls to put L & H’s feet into and dump them in the water. He checks with hammer to see if cement has hardened, which it has. Laurel whimpers like a baby. They are rolled out onto the pier, comedy ensues as they bob back and forth like wobble toys, accidentally pushing the villains into the water below. They bob back an forth some more and eventually grab onto each other and roll into the water below. Funny.
