Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or Sherlock Jr., start here.
The mood: Light and funny.
The pace: Breezy, at 20 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1931: an older pace and style.

The Hardys wish to have a quiet evening in their apartment, but are interrupted when the Laurels pay a visit. Stan and Ollie go out for ice cream, and manage to prevent a shrewish woman from committing suicide on the way back home. The woman is ungrateful and makes threats against the them unless they look after her. They spend a chaotic evening trying to keep her hidden from their wives.
