Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? As bootblacks Ham and Bud incur the ire of Royal Flush, the gambling prince. But later when Roy finds himself in jail Ham and Bud get their chance for revenge by securing jobs as jailers. As jailers they are more laughable than capable, especially when Flora, Roy's pretty daughter, arrives to effect her father's escape.
