    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      For the ear wiggling that Stan does, he would be filmed with his ears as normal then they'd be held forward with putty or similar material and the camera restarted. The two sections would be joined together then copied and joined many times for repetition. Filmed in slow motion then projected at normal speed the ears would wave vigorously. This would be why Stan's face is fixed in one position for a relatively long time.
    • Goofs
      When Stan and Ollie get out of a car and thank the driver for the lift, they are in front of the entrance for The Evening Globe, which has Art Deco trim around the main doors. They then ask the driver of a Water Dept. truck for a ride. When they sit on the back of the truck as the driver turns on the street-cleaning spray, the background has changed, and they are now in front of the Globe Pipe Shop, which is next to a grand building entrance with large, Ionic columns on either side of the doors.
