The Stooges, who are working as menders, are asleep under their wagon when a broken hydrant washes them down the street, mattress and all, and into the path of a truck. Rudely awoken by a beat cop, they set about drumming up business. Curly attempts to fix a flat tire (using a slice of salami from Moe's sandwich as a patch), and Moe and Larry struggle to get Curly out of his too-tight sweater.
