In prison, Stan's loose tooth "buzzes" when he talks and keeps getting him in trouble, because it sounds like he's giving everybody a rasp- berry.

It's Prohibition, and the boys wind up behind bars after Stan sells some of their home-brew beer to a policeman. In prison, Stan's loose tooth "buzzes" when he talks and keeps getting him in trouble, because it sounds like he's giving everybody a rasp- berry. But it earns him the respect of The Tiger, a rough prisoner, and the boys manage to slip away during The Tiger's escape attempt. They disguise themselves in blackface and hide on a cotton plantation, but are recaptured when the warden happens by and here's Stan's buzzing tooth which causes to realize who the pair are. Back in the big house, they find themselves in a hail of bullets, caught between the state militia and gun-toting prisoners, when The Tiger tries another escape. Eventually the boys are pardoned by the senior warden, who erroneously believes that they intentionally warned the prison guards of the impending firestorm by firing the first shots.

| Film Geek CentralAustin KennedyWhether it's Ollie mugging the camera as he breaks the fourth wall, or Stanley doing his double and triple takes, these guys are brilliant. |
| User ReviewSteven POne of L & H's early feature films and arguably one of their best! Shows the boys in prison and trying to escape! |
| User ReviewDC FOne of L & H's early feature films and arguably one of their best! Shows the boys in prison and trying to escape! |
| User ReviewGreg WImperfect Laurel and Hardy feature (their first) which sags a little in the middle when the pair are on the run and in disguise as black cotton pickers. But there's enough effective gags here to see the piece through, and the boys do this sort of humour better than anybody else. |
| User ReviewGregory WFine prison escape comedy from Stan and Ollie! Interesting to see the baddies back then - they really looked bad! |
| User ReviewDavid GClassic Laurel & Hardy comedy, the first full-length feature they made having appeared only in shorts up to that point. It's not the best film they've produced but it has some good gags, a couple of nice musical numbers and provides an interesting look at Hollywood racial attitudes of the period. Of course James Finlayson makes an appearance too, the man who pioneered "D'oh" half a century before Homer Simpson! |
| User ReviewTero HLikeable feature debut for Laurel and Hardy. |
| User ReviewCharles SGood Laurel and Hardy movie though obviously dated with prohibition references. |
| User ReviewMarion RIt has a couple of jokes in there, but it feels long. It's not horrible it just okay. Laurel and Hardy put on black face and there are a couple of racist jokes which date it. |
