Laundries are big business in the mining town
of Digalittledeeper. The "Tub and Scrub" is
operated by Olympia Klenz and Sweet Sally. The young
sheriff is in love with Sally, but every time he gets close
he turns into a babbling fool. Meanwhile, our villain,
Phineas Flatworm, discovers Olympia has been rinsing gold
flecks from miners’ laundry for years, and she’s
amassed a tidy sum. The villain figures if he had the
only laundry in town, he’d make a million! With
the aid of his hilarious mother, Mrs. Mugwump, and Lola-Lola,
a talentless flamenco dancer, he gets control of the "Tub
and Scrub." Lola-Lola plans to marry Phineas, but
not if Mrs. Mugwump has anything to say about it! The
other laundries "mysteriously" burn down. Mayor
Haggle gives the "Tub and Scrub" a civic award, and
a ghost accuses the villain of his crimes. The
highlight of the wacky spoof is a laundry fight that hasn’t
been equaled since the pie-tossing days of silent films.
The evildoers are brought to the soap-bar of justice, and the
sheriff conquers his shyness and proposes to Sweet Sally.
