This short comedy film has
Laurel and Hardy scrounging around for work and they masquerade as a maid and
butler in a well-to-do home. As expected they cause loads of trouble and skip
out. Next they are a pair of street sweepers who come upon some luck while on
break. They unwittingly capture a bank robber and they are soon rewarded with a free education at Oxford. There they are
met with a group of haughty Oxford snobs who cannot wait to mess with the new
arrivals. The ensuing moments include getting lost in a maze, dizzy spells,
run-ins with the Dean, and a chance encounter with Oxford Athletic hero Lord
Paddington, who shares an uncanny resemblance to Stan. Despite all the ups and
downs, Stan and Ollie make it through and they succeed in making this comedy
quite funny.
3.5/5 Stars
