Plot

Harold and Snub are chefs in an upscale restaurant. Harold, an idler, does many of his cooking tasks using pulleys, long-handled implements, and other gadgets so he does not have to leave his chair. When a customer orders a seafood dinner, and Harold tries to catch fish from the restaurant's fountain for it, he is reassigned from the kitchen to become a waiter. Trying to favor the female diners at the tables, Harold quickly runs afoul of the customers.
