The battle at the china shop gets under way when the owner pushes Fatty, then Al, against the left and right counters, breaking a number of items. The clerk dives over the back counter, breaking more china. Fatty throws a small vase at the back of the owner's head, and it breaks, but when Al throws a vase at him, it bounces unbroken off his back. There is a quick cutaway to Pete the Pup outside to cover the fact that the break-away prop didn't break.
