Two old men, living on the fringe, spend time together in the park and are constantly harassed by park officials. A smalltime gambler and his wife are close friends who see the two old men almost daily. The tables turn when the wife suggests the two men devise a plan for dealing with the park officials instead of remaining passive. Pleased with the outcome, they are now reluctant to discuss it with the husband when they learn he is now working as a park official.
