COMMENT: Yes, a delightfully entertaining if not exactly over-original Laurel and Hardy entry, which finds the boys playing incompetent house-builders who contrive to swallow (as well as tread on) nails and other sundries, as well as to naturally fall off planks and ladders at every opportunity.
However, all the gags and "unintentional" horseplay are, as usual, very cleverly built up, and the delightful slapstick mayhem is cleverly accentuated by the casting of the diminutively attractive Dorothy Coburn as the feisty nurse.
