Storyline

Visiting Oliver in the hospital where he's recovering from a broken leg, Stanley wreaks havoc on both his friend (getting Oliver strung up from the ceiling by his cast-encased leg) as well as the doctor, who winds up dangling out the window. After they're ordered out, Stanley tries to drive Oliver home, unaware that he's just accidentally injected himself with a powerful sedative. Written by Paul Penna <tterrace@wco.com>

Crazy Credits

The original MGM credits were replaced around 1937 for a reissue in which
the names of the director and others were removed. The Film Classics
reissue, based on the 1937 reissue (and issued on DVD), removed all
references to MGM although the opening lion can still be heard on the
soundtrack. See more »
