Two Tars

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy play two sailors on shore leave. They are driving a rented automobile. With Laurel at the wheel, he nearly crashes the car into a pedestrian at a street corner.

Eventually a motorcycle policeman arrives and is told that Stan and Oliver were the instigators of the fracas. The girls stealthily bolt from the vehicle and Stan and Oliver flee the scene pursued by about a dozen other cars. All the cars eventually drive into a railroad tunnel—and must make a hasty retreat in rever
