Summary

British Pathe synopsis: "by Parr & Parr, the well-known dancers". The two dancers - dressed in top hat and tails - do tap routine where they both do exactly the same steps. They do some funny business with their hats. They do a bit of thigh slapping, a kind of pat-a-cake routine. One of them takes a swipe at the other who ducks, he slaps his friend on the cheek. One kicks the other on the bottom. They link arms but then can’t put their hats back on - funny business ensues.
