Plot

In an unexpected twist of fate, Stan and Oliver find themselves in the depths of domestic servitude, with Stan donning a disguise as a maid. Their humorous antics unfold in the grand Vandevere mansion where they stumble through a dinner party with catastrophic yet comical results. The aftermath finds them demoted to street sweepers, where a fortuitous encounter with a bank robber catapults them into an entirely new world. The bank's grateful president, in a gesture of thanks, sends the hapless duo on a journey to Oxford, envisioning a refined education for them. At Oxford, they become the unsuspecting targets of student pranks, wander aimlessly in the enigmatic Maze, and hilariously commandeer the Dean's quarters as their own. An unexpected bump to Stan's head turns the tables once again. Convinced he's the illustrious Lord Paddington, a scholar and athlete of supreme reputation, Stan's personality dramatically transforms. Embracing an air of erudition and arrogance, he engages Oliver as his valet, affectionately nicknamed "Fatty." This tale of two friends is a roller-coaster ride of laughter, mishaps, and unpredictable twists that keeps the audience riveted from beginning to end.
