"Willy Clark and Al Lewis were partners in a vaudeville act. One day Al decided to retire, and Willy has held it against him ever since. As the play opens Willy's nephew has gotten them an opportunity to do one of their old skits if they will work together again. Willy agrees to see Al, and reluctantly they decide to work together one more time doing their famous doctor skit. But when they actually do it, they get into an argument and Willy collapses with a heart attack."
