Film Pick of the Day
Wednesday, June 24, 2026
After backing over a police motorcycle, Axel and Elmer are fined $100 and given 48 hours to come up with the money or go to jail. Knowing nothing about plumbing, they hire on as plumber's assistants and are sent to the Dinwitty estate to recover a diamond ring from a drain pipe. In due course they destroy the bathroom and switch the gas and water lines, disrupting Mrs. Dinwitty's bridge party, the maid's dinner preparation, and the gardener's lawn watering.
