Feb 3, 2013 A consistently entertaining and well-plotted cautionary tale in which Laurel and Hardy always appear to be having fun. It was remade as 'Sons of the Desert' in 1933.

(Ollie, looking on, smiles benignly.) If the second half, in which the leads have to explain themselves, plays as a little flatter, Stan's extended mime to Ollie, describing what the pair of them were supposed to have seen that night, might be read as a worthwhile training ground: the stars were learning how to sell a joke, or an idea, or even just a lie, without words. In the final image, suggesting this wasn't the only deception in town, innocence is replaced by (carnal) knowledge. See more Nov 29, 2009 Not one of the greatd duo's better shorts.
