Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe heavy object Stan pulls into the car when Ollie cannot get it moving forward is called a horse anchor or weight. These were used when there was no hitching post available. The weight was tied to the horse's halter or bridle and placed on the ground. This was usually enough to keep the horse in place until its owner returned.
- GoofsThe trunk is set on fire and flips around in the air, then lands upside down. But in the very next shot, it is shown right-side up.
- Alternate versionsWhen released on video with Video Treasures, the following scene was removed: When Ollie accidentally get's his head stuck in the head of the bed Stan helps him pull it out. The video release showed the Before and After of the gag instead of the middle, so it cuts right to the broken bed head and Ollie rubbing his neck.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Crazy World of Laurel and Hardy (1966)

Aren't You Going to Hang Him?
This is so very funny. Walter Long plays Butch, a murderer who Stan and Ollie have helped convicted. With that stern, ugly, threatening smirk, Butch tells them in court that he will escape, catch them, and tie their legs around their necks. He goes off to prison, but, of course, he escapes and the fun starts. The boys leave town but they need some financial aid and advertise for a travelling companion. It turns out to be Mae Bush, who is Butch's girlfriend. The arrive a her apartment shortly after Butch, who hides in a steamer trunk. The boys are take with Mae who is quite voluptuous in a 1930's kind of way. Butch realizes he can't get out of the trunk and much of the episode involves the duo trying to get him out, not realizing they are about to seal their fates. Tremendous character acting by Long and a really great plot.
