Plot

Roscoe starts his first day of work at a bakery on the same day that local gangsters pay a visit to his boss, Mr. Shultz, demanding protection money. When Mr. Shultz refuses to pay, the gangsters plant an explosive-laden cake in the bakery. When the lead gangster's moll throws a birthday party for him, she orders a cake -- and it turns out to be the same booby-trapped cake. Seeking revenge, the gangsters descend on the bakery and begin throwing dough around. Roscoe escalates the battle by breaking out the pies, and the crooks are subdued.
