Olsen and Johnson are comedians employed in a nightclub, but seeking to be released from their contracts to take a better job. But the prissy nightclub owner , B. J. Wagonhorn (Franklin Pangborn), refuses to let them go. In reprisal, they start hurling insults at the nightclub patrons...a ploy that soon has them facing multiple lawsuits...to the delight of three struggling attorneys, Charlie Rodman (Donald Curtis), Bettty Wilson (Grace McDonald) and Arthur Lane (Noah Beery, Jr.).
