During their hasty retreat from the wrath of the restaurant manager they come upon two storekeepers being arrested. They are asked to take care of the shop during the owners' absence and are promised half of the profits during the time they run the place. This is just the chance they are looking for and grab it eagerly. Finding that the store is one for the sale of Oriental goods they doll themselves up as Chinamen and have considerable fun with the various customers that come in. Finally the party gets so rough the place catches on fire and Ned and his valet flee in terror. They run right into their recent enemy, the restaurant man, however, and decide it will be better to return to the shop. When they get back they find that the fire is out and so as to increase the business they cut out two big signs reading: "Fire Sale." Written by Universal Weekly, January 19, 1924 See less
