During a scouting detail in the Belgian countryside, Bert Brown and Eddie Marsh liken their assignment to their former Vaudeville acrobat act — warming up the audience for the headliners to follow. Eddie sees a flash of light from a farmhouse and the pair investigate. Entering the house using an acrobatic entrance performed in St. Louis, the pair are attacked by the German patrol hiding inside. The former acrobats use their performance skills to neutralize their foes with relative ease. Just as they finish and take a bow, their sergeant arrives and chides them for their levity.
