In a sanitarium beset by bureaucratic tedium, two paperhangers, Bobby Ray and Harry McCoy, are tasked with hanging posters, an ostensibly mundane endeavor that rapidly descends into chaos. As they navigate the labyrinthine corridors, their ineptitude precipitates a series of calamitous events, underscoring the tension between order and entropy. The narrative, penned by Ward Hayes, deftly exploits the comedic potential inherent in the protagonists' hapless interactions with the sanitarium's eccentric denizens, including a memorable appearance by Oliver Hardy. This film, while not a landmark, merits consideration alongside contemporaneous works like <a href='/movies/just-a-good-guy'>Just a Good Guy</a> and <a href='/movies/you-find-it-everywhere'>You Find It Everywhere</a>, which similarly explore the comedic possibilities of workplace misadventures.
