Stick Around or The Paperhanger's Helper finds Oliver Hardy as a wall paperhanger with Bobby Ray as an assistant who get a job at an asylum. That in itself guarantees a few laughs, the rest provided by the team of Hardy and Ray.
It certainly doesn't seem right. Bobby Ray as comic seems like a stand-in for Stan Laurel. He's got the general idea of Laurel's comic character. But while some of the gags involving wallpaper and the sticky paste you apply to fasten it to a wall, the spark of innocence that was Stan Laurel's is just not there.
The film has the look and feel of Ollie trying out a different Laurel before he found the right one.
