Pretzel is the driver of the bakery wagon; Schnitzel peddles groceries. Frank and his sweetheart Molly quarrel and Frank meets the widow and falls in love with her. She informs Pretzel and Schnitzel that whoever wins a horse race will win her hand in marriage. Pretzel and Schnitzel dope each other's horses, but by mistake the druggist gave the men fast instead of slow dope. The race starts; the dope works. The widow gets tired of waiting, meets Frank, and consents to take a walk with him. Molly meets the cop on the beat and takes a liking to him. The baker and grocer miss their wagons and notify the police. Pretzel and Schnitzel finally get their horses turned around and come back. They are chased by the police, but finally find protection by hiding behind the widow and Frank, and Moly and the cop, as they hold an impromptu double wedding.
