    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the only Laurel and Hardy short that could be called a sequel. Here the owners of the grocery store next to Stan and Ollie's new electrical shop are the same Mr and Mrs Hall who stopped in at Stan and Ollie's trailer in the mountains when their car broke down in Them Thar Hills (1934). (Other than this coincidence, there is no other connection between the two stories.)

      • [laughs]
      • Oliver: But, it's certainly a pleasure to have seen you again.
      • Grocer's Wife: Oh, it's my pleasure!
