Tailor-made for people who need a good giggle. Low effort, high reward: just press play.

Light and funny.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 22 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The boys sneak out for a night on the town, unaware that Stan's wife has switched her grocery coupons for Stan's secret stash of mad money. The boys run up a huge tab treating a couple of girls to dinner at a snazzy nightclub and much trouble ensues.
