Two Tars

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy play two sailors on shore leave. They are driving a rented automobile. With Laurel at the wheel, he nearly crashes the car into a pedestrian at a street corner. Oliver apologizes for Stan's poor driving, takes the wheel, and shortly thereafter crashes the car into a lamppost. Chagrined, Oliver drives off and parks in front of a drugstore where two young ladies are having difficulty: They are trying to deal with a street-side vending machine that has taken their penny without giving them a gumball. Oliver tries to shake a gumball from the dispenser but only ends up breaking the glass container, scattering gumballs all over the sidewalk. As Oliver tries to collect as many of the wayward gumballs as possible, the angry proprietor emerges from the store to confront him. When the confrontation gets physical, Stan tries to intervene, but he constantly slips on the gumballs still scattered on the sidewalk. The girls come to their rescue and rough up the proprietor, accidentally breaking another gumball machine in the process. Some time later Stan and Oliver are shown in the car with the two girls, presumably after spending a pleasant afternoon together. They have exchanged hats. They are driving along a crowded road where a traffic jam has occurred near a construction site because a car has run out of gas. Stan and Oliver try to bypass the jam but end up creating more congestion. When a trailing car accidentally bumps the boys' rental vehicle, the girls insist they take revenge. This action leads to a chain reaction of numerous drivers and passengers battling one another and deliberately damaging their automobiles. Eventually a motorcycle policeman arrives and is told that Stan and Oliver were the instigators of the fracas. The girls stealthily bolt from the vehicle and Stan and Oliver flee the scene pursued by about a dozen other cars. All the cars eventually drive into a railroad tunnel—and must make a hasty retreat in rever
