The two are seen by Quince and hired to whitewash his fence. While Quince watches his men labor, the fair owner of the baby carriage appears upon the scene. Mistaking the farmer for the thief, she makes things hot for him. Bud and Dud hotfoot it away. Peter, commissioner to illustrate a magazine story, entitled, "Adam's Ancestors," advertises for two male models. Bud and his pal get the jobs and are ordered to don skins. Just as they are posing, Quince and his better half arrive on a visit to their son. Seeing the causes of his recent difficulty, Quince makes for Bud and Dud, but the two get away by using their prehistoric clubs freely. In the meantime, Long John, a pickpocket, attempts to ply his profession upon a slumbering policeman. The officer awakens and goes after the crook. Long John runs into Bud and Dud and thus the three are captured. Thrown into a cell, Bud and his pal turn upon their jailer, tap him into slumber, knock Long John flat, and then endeavor to escape. A revolver in the hands of the desk sergeant suddenly causes the prisoners to recall the comforts of the cell. Hastening back to their barred chamber, Bud and Dud, with one accord, raise their clubs, bring them down upon each other's head and drift into dreamland.
