Dirty Work finds Laurel and Hardy doing the dirtiest work around. That of chimney sweep in London. Looks like they could have used some help from Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews. Her traveling umbrella would have been of great help from keeping the boys going down that dirty chimney shaft.
But half the fun of this short subject is just who they were sweeping for. None other than mad scientist Professor Noodle played by Lucien Littlefield. He's looking for subjects to experiment on with his new rejuvenation formula. It's stuff you have to be careful with or otherwise you regress too much.
You can imagine all the problems the boys have as chimney sweeps. But the climax is when Stan bumps Ollie into a big vat of Littlefield's formula. Coooooo, what a sight.
Good short subject and Littlefield looked like he was having some fun.
