- A wealthy young woman about to marry a noted playboy comes across his diary, and as she reads it, she begins to discover that her intended husband isn't quite what he seems to be.
- Mr. Burns, a tailor, hires Mack and Myer as his assistants. He leaves them in charge and tells them to clean up the shop and make sure they turn off the dry cleaning machine. Myer fools around with an iron and a sewing machine, and Mack suffers the consequences. A customer comes in to get a suit altered. Myer thinks he recognizes him from a magazine: It's Baby-Face Fogarty. But it's actually Detective Harrison, who arrested Fogarty and got his picture in the magazine. The boys call the police station for help, then do everything to stall their customer until the cops arrive. Mr. Burns returns, identifies his bound and gagged customer as the detective, and the boys get a free ride in the dry cleaning machine.
- Pretty Boy Percy, "the world's greatest jewel robber," gets a face-lift to look like Mack, one of the janitors at Norman's Jewelry Store. He knocks out Mack, then joins Myer on the clean-up crew. But Mack regains consciousness, and Pretty Boy has to keep conking him on the head while stuffing jewelry into a bag. Myer notices "Mack" speaks in a deeper-than-usual voice, and offers him an aspirin and a glass of water, assuming "Mack" is sick. "Mack" rejects the offer, but the real Mack has a headache and asks for an aspirin. This routine goes back-and-forth a few times until "Mack" pulls a pistol on Myer, who throws water in his face and escapes. The police barge in and make an arrest...but did they get the right guy?
- Nervous Mr. Marshall can't get his landlord to repair anything in his apartment, so he hires Mack and Myer. The "walk this way" gag is repeated several times as he shows the boys what needs to be fixed. First, they have to turn off the radiator (Mack gets squirted), then replace a light in the refrigerator (Myer installs a giant bulb). While Mack works on the sink and stove, Myer oils a squeaky door hinge and sands the floor. Mr. Marshall plans to charge his landlord for the repair work, so when the boys ask for a measly $7, he starts a reverse-bidding war and gets them up to $650. "Walk this way" again while Mr. Marshall inspects their work, which culminates in the drastically over-sanded floor collapsing, dropping all three onto the bed of the downstairs neighbor.
- Mack and Myer are working for a barber. The first customer gives them a dollar bill for a tip. Myer tears it in half, because they are splitting the tips. The second customer is bald, but he likes to hear the sound of scissors over his head, because it reminds him of when he had hair. The barber tells Myer to give the customer a shoe shine, but he's wearing sandals. After the non-haircut and a facial, the barber dabs an astringent on the customers face...and it grows hair. The barber rubs it into the man's scalp, and it works again. It's a million-dollar discovery. The only problem is that Myer mixed something in the astringent bottle - and can't remember what. While Mack mixes a new batch, the barber shaves Myer's head to test it. Will it work?
- The boys are hired to wash windows, but stumble into the laboratory of a scientist who is looking for humans with the intelligence of a chimpanzee. He locks them in a space chamber and puts them through a gravity test, a "speed" test (with slow-motion running effects), and a reverse-motion test. When he runs all three tests simultaneously, it somehow switches the boys' voices and personalities.
- The boys sit down to eat lunch behind a department store. Myer tosses a banana peel on the ground, and while Mack picks it up, a robber comes out of the back door and trips over him. As a reward for foiling the robbery, they are given jobs in the package-wrapping department. They forget to wrap the bottom of one package (crash!), and have problems fitting a large box into the dumbwaiter. Eventually the manager winds up in the dumbwaiter and they're fired. Back outside to finish their other banana, a second crook slips on the peel. The boys wisely take it on the lam.
- The boys have to clear out "this entire wing of the museum" (as usual, a rinky-dink one-room set) for the exhibition of the never-before-seen statue "The Plunge of Hercules." While Myer removes debris, Mack keeps running head-first into a large board that two other workers inexplicably keep moving from one side of the room to the other (to the accompaniment of a jaunty Bavarian-style tune). Myer wonders why Mack is "always lying on the floor." Myer uses glass cleaner on a painting. Mack gets a face full of dissolving paint. While moving a board, Myer pokes a hole in the wall, which he covers with Gainsborough's "Blue Boy." Mack is suspicious and uncovers the hole. He unwisely asks Myer how it happened. Myer's demonstration puts a hole in "Blue Boy." They try to repair the wall using plaster of Paris left by the other workmen, but destroy art object #3, the as-yet-unseen statue. Myer suggests they make a new statue, since no one in the USA has seen this one. But it's Mack who takes a plunge into the plaster and goes on exhibit as "The Plunge of Hercules."
- Mack and Myer are hired to deliver expensive fragile antiques - using their motorcycle and sidecar. But it's Friday the 13th, which worries Myer, especially when he's confronted with an open umbrella in the house, a teetering mirror on the wall, walking under a ladder, and a black cat that crosses his path.
