Plot

Street musicians Stan and Ollie have no success earning money in the dead of winter in a bad neighborhood. Their instruments are destroyed in an argument with a woman, but their luck seems to turn when Stan finds a wallet.

Sinekatalog’s take

A wintry short where two broke street musicians scrape for coins and then stumble on a lucky break. The gags are neatly timed and the charm is undimmed. A pleasing quick dose of classic comedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
