The story

Laurel and Hardy, partners in a barbershop venture, encounter a classified advertisement in the newspaper placed by a wealthy widow seeking a new spouse. Initially, only Stan intends to respond to the ad, yet upon confiding his intentions to Ollie, both agree to vie for the widow's affections. This agreement, sealed with a handshake and Ollie's declaration of "May the best man win," is tainted by Ollie's deceitful act of withholding Stan's response and submitting only his own.
