In this Laurel & Hardy short we see the two as the worst detectives in the world. They have to protect a judge who put a man in prison. The man has escaped and he has sworn to kill the judge.
If you like Laurel & Hardy there is no reason not to like this one, but if you need their movies to be a little interesting to like them then I should watch another Laurel & Hardy short. It is not bad, but there are no real great laughs. There is one sequence with Laurel on a cemetery that is pretty good. Still, they have done a lot better.
