Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for people who need a good giggle. Easy company after a long day.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Breezy, at 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Policeman Edgar Kennedy is told by his chief he better stop a string of burglaries that have been happening on his watch or else he will get the sack. He persuades vagrants Stan and Ollie to rob the chief's house so he can regain his reputation by catching them. The policeman promises to later get the boys off. Things do not go as planned.
