The doctor (Billy Gilbert) diagnoses Ollie's condition as gout and suggests he take a vacation.  Soon thereafter he and Stan beat a path to the mountains in their travel trailer.  They park near a deserted cabin recently occupied by a gang of bootleggers.  What they don't know is that the outlaws dumped their contraband brew in a nearby well. The boys now proceed to fill up on fresh mountain water.  Then Ollie notices the strange taste.  Stan insists, however, that "it's the iron in it."

A married couple happen along who have run out of gas.  Though the husband (Charlie Hall) seems crass and overbearing, the boys comply by filling his gas can.  He then heads back for the car while his foot-sore wife waits behind.  When Stan and Ollie invite her to dinner--entre of baked beans and all the well water they can drink--how can she resist? 

The husband returns to find all three roaring drunk.  He strikes out at the boys and they "return fire" in a "tit for tat" series of attacks that culinates in the demolition of their trailer.  Not to be outdone, however, the boys see to it that the belligerent husband gets his.  He's certainly a sight now, having been properly tarred and feathered.  And so what if Ollie's still got the gout. Never has getting even been quite so satisfying.
