Plot

After the events in Them Thar Hills (1934), Stan and Ollie encounter their old nemesis, whose grocery shop is next to their home-appliances store. Nobody can let bygones be bygones, and a war breaks out. Will those tit-for-tat battles ever end?

Stan and Ollie have set up their own electrical-repair store. Unfortunately for them, the grocery store opposite is run by the couple they encountered in Them Thar Hills (1935). Stan and Ollie go to offer the hand of friendship, but the grocer becomes convinced that Ollie is trying to seduce his wife. The grocer takes his revenge first upon Stan and Ollie, then upon the goods in their shop, with the duo carrying out similar attacks on the grocer and his property.—Andy Davidson
