Synopsis

Fleeing a policeman, Stan and Ollie hide in an apparently empty mansion. The arrival of prospective tenants persuades them to impersonate the owner and servants, but the real owner's return makes their improvised household impossible to sustain.

Inspirations

The story derives from Home from the Honeymoon, a play by Stan Laurel's father. It revisits material used in Duck Soup, now with dialogue and an expanded series of impersonations.
