"I
think we've given that deed to the wrong woman. That's the first
mistake we've made since
that guy sold us the Brooklyn Bridge."
- Stan
Why watch this?
All their shorts and full-length films are classics. This is one
of their
best.
Plot Summary: Stan
and Ollie venture into the Wild West to deliver a gold mine deed
to its rightful owner, Mary Roberts. However, a crooked saloon
owner, Mickey Finn, and his wife, Lola, trick the hapless duo
into giving them the deed instead. Upon realizing their mistake,
the duo embarks on a comedic quest to reclaim the deed and
ensure Mary receives her inheritance.
Dad's Preview:
By the time "talkies" (motion pictures with sound)
began, this
hilarious duo were already an experienced and beloved comedy
team. The pair starred in numerous short films and features. Here,
the two travel to the Wild West town of Bushwood Gulch to
deliver a deed to the daughter of their late partner. Of course,
they run
afoul of a shady saloon owner and his sassy wife who want to
steal that deed.
For one of
Laurel & Hardy's most entertaining 30-minute shorts, watch
the boys take a grand piano up some daunting stairs in
The Music Box (1932).
You'll enjoy it.
