The comic sequences are first-rate, particularly Ollie’s initiation as a pickpocket and Stan’s bumbling attempt to bottle a vat of wine.

Laurel and Hardy at their worst, with nothing to work on.

It's all good, alternately funny to watch and pleasant to listen to, and shouldn't be missed.

A solid full-length work by Laurel and Hardy that just may be a tad too sophisticated for their audience at the time. It still works, mainly due to an excellent supporting cast and the hilarity of seeing Stan pretend he's drunk, trying to siphon wine into bottles.
