The Terrytoons have had a very hit-or-miss track record for their entire run. Of all their cartoons, however, Heckle and Jeckle's were the most consistent (along with perhaps Farmer Alfalfa), and this cartoon does not disappoint.
The cartoon opens at a gym where several characters are working out until they hear Heckle and Jeckle advertise their miracle pills. The gym's champ catches wind of this and tells them to get lost; they do it a second time and he drags them in to prove their effectiveness.
This culminates in gags like our two favorite magpies tricking the champ into plummeting several stories, the two disguising themselves as dumbbells, and a surprisingly funny elevator chase (which eventually gets the two to fall so low that they wind up in Hell).
You'd expect these two to be designated heroes that get away with causing havoc, but as the cartoon ends with the standard iris out, the champ drags them back into the cartoon and beats them.
