The entertainers, "Ole & Chic", have received better offers elsewhere, and are eager to break their contract at Wagonhorn's nightclub. Wagonhorn is just as eager to keep them on at the low salary he signed them for. However, when the team takes drastic measures one night, destroying the club and subjecting the patrons to slapstick abuse, Wagonhorn is so frightened by this display he sells the club to the two of them just to get away from them. Although an insulted patron (Ed Brophy) files a damage suit against "Ole & Chic", they not only win the suit, but the beginning law firm they hire to defend them ends up prospering from the publicity.
