Plot
The duo, initially destitute vagrants, experience a significant shift in fortunes when Ollie inherits a substantial fortune from his deceased uncle. Utilizing his newfound wealth, Ollie purchases an opulent mansion and appoints Stan as his butler. However, following a night of excessive champagne consumption, Ollie returns home with the intent of subjecting Stan to a series of malicious pranks. In response, Stan reacts by wreaking havoc throughout the mansion, resulting in extensive damage to the property. Attempting to escape Stan's wrath, Hardy submerges himself in a large fountain that contains many sculpted cherub heads carved in his own image. He takes the place of one of the heads but is supposed to be continually spouting water;and even Stan catches on when Ollie runs dry numerous times. But by then, Stan finds it funny enough that he forgives his pal.
