Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the most famous comedy duo in history, and deservedly so, so I am happy to see any of their films. Cyrus Brittle (James Finlayson) wakes to be told by his butler (Hardy) that he got married last night, and his bride (Charlotte Mineau), her brother (Noah Young) and her daughter (Edna Marion) are all waiting for him downstairs. Cyrus calls his attorney/lawyer (Laurel) to help sort things out, as the bride's brother wants $50,000 to square the marriage, and he has a gun to make sure he gets it. To get away, Cyrus puts his lawyer on his shoulder's, and disguised as woman, he and the butler walk out. They do get chased though through the near circus, going through the fun house, over the rocking bridge and ending the film at the bottom of the slides, along with many other people, oh, and a cop after them gets a kick from a woman in the same outfit. There were the tiniest moments of comedy, but it isn't a great black and white film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Okay!
