Cast: Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy
The last short we saw at the Sons of the Desert meeting. This is the only time the Boys ever did a sequel to one of their shorts (Them Thar Hills).
THE PLOT: Stan and Babe have just opened an electrical appliance store conveniently located next to Hall's Grocery, which is run by, you guessed it, Charlie Hall and his wife (Mae Busch). After Stan accidentally raises Ollie onto the ledge of the second floor of the grocery store, the missus leads Ollie down the stairs, which makes Charlie understandably jealous. Then follows pretty much the same slapstick routine in Them Thar Hills. The hilarity finally ends when a cop makes Charlie apologize.
THE REVIEW: I should mention that while all this fighting is happening, a man is walking into the appliance store and stealing things, but no one really seems to care.
I actually enjoyed the slapstick in this short more than I did in its prequel. The gags are funnier and more clever. 5 out of 5 stars.
Watch the entire short here.
