Synopsis: [?] [From Wid’s Daily, 20 December 1920, page ?]? Percie and Ferdie answer an ad for barbers, and to be sure of the job they get there in the middle of the night, sleeping on the steps of the shop. They get the jobs, and the balance of the reel is a burlesque of the daily happenings in a barber shop. It’s all good stuff, with a succession of new bits of business. The second reel find the boys preparing to attend Miss Millionbucks’ ball. They go attired in stolen uniforms, passing as two friends of the young lady’s father. Of course the rightful two arrive and show the boys up. At the moment they are about to be shot for impersonating officers, they wake up — still in front of the barber shop, and the jobs taken.
