This is a sequel to the hilarious THEM THAR HILLS, and its just as nuts.
The boys have the DUMBEST of luck starting up a store right next to their old foe, Charlie Hall and his wife Mae Busch. In the previous story, Mae got drunk and Hall blamed them and is one to carry the torch.
Demolition Derby Time! No sooner than Laurel and Hardy re-introduce themselves --and wanna' be friends! --- Charlie declares war, barging into their store and wrecking stuff. The boys return the favor in kind and do some damage, including a classic scene where they pour molasses into his cash register and dump a can of lard on his head. Only Charlie Hall could stand there covered with thick lard! He was a terrific fall guy.
Two good bits from James C. Morton, playing a cop, who wants everybody to BEHAVE, and comedian Bobby Dunn playing a shameless shoplifter. As Stan and Ollie beef up their arguements with Charlie, Bobby casually breezes past them, walking out with lamps, toasters, all kind of stuff.... until the final scene where he literally backs up a truck and cleans the store out.
Only surprise here is that Mae Busch is reserved, leaving all the blowups to Charlie.
Do not miss the goofy goings on. Always on dvd in box sets.
