Busy Buddies Synopsis

Three world war veterans waken on the anniversary of Armistice Day to the knocking of an irate landlady who demands her room rent under threat of ejectment. They are further embarrassed at the entirely remote prospect of breakfast. Their plot to break a restaurant window in order to acquire some ham and eggs is thwarted by the untimely arrival of a policeman. The promise of sandwiches and coffee entices them into the Armistice Day parade, but they are ordered to "'fall out'" just before the sandwiches reach them. An ejected bill collector offers fifty dollars for the collection of a bad bill and they thus acquire fifty dollars worth of ham and eggs and also become members of the collection agency staff.
