Mike and Mary Anne, a steam shovel duo, face stiff competition from modern machines and struggle to find work. However, they land a job in a small town to dig a cellar for their new town hall. Despite initial skepticism, they complete the task in a single day, but neglect to provide a way out. A young boy suggests a new role for Mike and Mary Anne, with Mike becoming the town hall's janitor and Mary Anne serving as the boiler for the heating system. The town accepts the proposal, and the new town hall is completed before winter.
