Laurel And Hardy - No. 12 - L And H And The Law: Classic Shorts

A collection of classic shorts, with Stan and Ollie finding themselves - mostly - on the wrong side of the law. In Scram! a judge orders them to leave town after finding them guilty of vagrancy. Night Owls sees Stan and Ollie in the same condition, but the local cop is willing to let them go if they are wiling to pose as burglars. Ladrones is an extended Spanish-Language version of Night Owls, with L&H speaking their own dialogue. Stan and Ollie are shaven-headed convicts in The Second Hundred Years. The shaven heads are still visible in a guest appearance made at the same time, in the Max Davidson comedy Call of the Cuckoo. In Duck Soup they elude the sheriff by taking refuge in an empty mansion, posing as owner and maid. Forty-Five Minutes From Hollywood, the first Hal Roach film in which both Laurel and Hardy appeared, casts Oliver Hardy as a hotel detective. The all-time classic Big Business involves them in battle with irascible James Finlayson, following their attempts to sell him a Christmas Tree.
