What we have here is a direct swipe from Laurel and Hardy's "Out West" in which Baer and Rosenbloom are two buddies out west who have been sent to deliver some inheritance papers to a heiress they have never seen. The heiress is mopping the floors and other lackey jobs in a saloon. The saloon-keeper has his wife pose as "Little Nell" and the two dupes hand the papers over to her. They discover their mistake and spend the last reel of this two-reeler trying to recover the deed from the imposter's bodice. What appears to be a case of grand larceny (a purloined plot) turns to petty theft here. The M-G-M lawyers missed their chance to get Columbia in 1952, and again in 1960 when Columbia re-released this short.
