Synopsis
Broke as usual, Laurel and Hardy find themselves with 24 hours to get out of town. They are hired to take a coffin by train to Dayton, Ohio, but little do they know that the person in the coffin is a gangster who is still alive and trying to escape arrest. After being swindled out of their money by a con artist on the train, they are bailed out by a traveling magician named Dante who hires them as his assistants. Dante uses a coffin in his act, and as one might guess, the coffins get switched and hilarity ensues.
