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. After a quick history of American liberty, from men like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, we see escaped prisoners Stan and Ollie running away from a prison guard firing his long barrelled shot gun. They are picked up by a Getaway Driver (Sam Lufkin) and change in the back seat, and the guard drops his gun in anger, which ends up firing a tree branch on his head. They manage to jump out of the car without suspicion as the police motorbike originally chasing them drives past, but then they notice they are wearing each other's pair of trousers. They try going down an alley with a screaming woman at her window, behind some descending crates, in the back of a taxi with a woman (Jean Harlow) and her husband getting in, and next to some fish crates with a crab dropping in Ollie's pair, to change. Stan wearing Ollie's pair of trousers is getting constantly snipped by the crab in his trousers, at one point it makes him push over Ollie into a chest with some cheap records on top, and the snipping continues when trying to help the Store Keeper (James Finlayson) pick them up. They eventually change their trousers standing on a construction site elevator that they activate taking them all the way to the top where there is nothing but metal beams to stand on, and the elevator goes back down before they can get down. They spot a ladder at the far end of the beams, so they balance, crawl, dangle, hold each other and shake there way across to this ladder, with the crab causing some problems for Ollie in his own pair of trousers, till he gets rid of it. The reach the ladder, and climbing downwards Stan is holding on when the ladder leans outwards with only a rope to hold on to, and he pulls it all the way to its end, and only his balance keeps him on the below planks before he leaps off. After helping him up, Ollie with a shoe and sock gone, and Stan work their way back to the elevator, grabbing a rope and sand bag which falls and nearly hits the Police Officer (Jack Hill) below. Finally they get on the elevator and go downwards, but the officer standing underneath is squashed down, and while the boys run away in panic, the officer steps out shortened and made angry by the elevator coming down. Filled with good slapstick and all classic comedy you want from a black and white silent film, it is an enjoyable film. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were number 7 on The Comedians' Comedian. Worth watching!
