Synopsis

Equipped with a fake will, lifelong hoboes Louie, Mike and Fresno Phil arrive in Watts claiming that they are the heirs of the long-dead Isaac Watts. Because the tycoon had owned all of the buildings in the community, they insist that, as a result, they are owed years of back rent. The flirtatious widow Mrs. Wonder also lays claim to the money, however, and uses her charms to persuade Mike, Louie and Phil to go after her instead of the Watts fortune. Then, after a court rules in the widow's favor, a young orphan, Hazy Fogg, dreams that the authentic Watts will still lies buried under a tree. When she wakes up, Hazy goes to the tree, starts digging and unearths a will that leaves everything to her. Then Louie, Mike and Phil, with neither the money nor Mrs. Wonder to show for their efforts, leave town.
