Abbott and Costello encounter comedic mishaps in multiple stories. In one tale, Costello becomes entangled with a real ape after putting on a costume, leading to chaos when Abbott and others mistake the animal for Costello in disguise. Another story involves Abbott as a waiter at a restaurant where his clumsy service with pea soup goes hilariously wrong, repeatedly splashing soup on a refined diner. A third sequence shows Costello falling from a building and getting tangled in various objects as he descends, while people below attempt unsuccessfully to catch him, with one comedic moment involving a "peeping Tom" reference as he crashes through a window.
