With the police hot on their trail, the jail-breaking duo, Stan and Ollie, attempt a rushed change of clothes in the confined space of their getaway car, only to find themselves in yet another fine mess, wearing each other's pants. As a result--to escape from the unbearable humiliation of having to swap trousers in public--the fresh prison escapees will soon wind up twenty stories high, struggling to balance atop the narrow girders of an unfinished skyscraper. However, they are not alone, as a furious adversary is bent on taking his revenge. Will the boys return to ground level in one piece?
