Joe and Rico are brothers who live together in a ramshackle hut with their crude, dirty parents. The brothers themselves are not too clean either and, furthermore, not given to much work, whiling away much of their time with brutal fisticuffs. Their shrewish mother, tired of seeing this, sends them away to Stranger Town, where they are to join their successful saloon-owner brother Mike/Bill in the hope that they make good. Two pretty saloon girls unaccountably fall for the pair but after Mike/Bill loses all of his money in a game of cards and the brothers return home and back to square one and are once again fighting it out.
