This silent film short has put generations of viewers in stitches at the comic antics of Laurel and Hardy. Among the horses stablehands Stanley and Oliver are tending is a Thoroughbred named Blue Boy. One day they overhear two men talking about a $5,000 reward for the return of the stolen Blue Boy, but Stanley and Oliver miss the crucial information: that the "Blue Boy" being sought is the famous Gainsborough painting, not the horse. Compounding their error, they get the painting owner's address and bring the horse along to claim the reward. They wonder at the rich man's instructions to put Blue Boy on the piano but, Oliver explains, "These millionaires are peculiar." Naturally, both the painting's owner and the horse's owner are irate, and the boys must move fast to avoid more trouble in legendary slapstick director Leo McCarey's nonstop riotous comedy. [More]
