Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe heavy object Stan pulls into the car when Ollie cannot get it moving forward is called a horse anchor or weight. These were used when there was no hitching post available. The weight was tied to the horse's halter or bridle and placed on the ground. This was usually enough to keep the horse in place until its owner returned.
- GoofsThe trunk is set on fire and flips around in the air, then lands upside down. But in the very next shot, it is shown right-side up.
- Alternate versionsWhen released on video with Video Treasures, the following scene was removed: When Ollie accidentally get's his head stuck in the head of the bed Stan helps him pull it out. The video release showed the Before and After of the gag instead of the middle, so it cuts right to the broken bed head and Ollie rubbing his neck.

Jack In The Box
Laurel and Hardy's testimony have helped convict Walter Long. He announces that he's going to bust out of prison and kill them. They prepare to leave town, but don't have enough money. They advertise in the paper and Mae Busch answers. If that's not enough trouble, she's Long's girlfriend. If that's not enough trouble, he's escaped and coming along with them. However, he's locked in a trunk. Always ineptly helpful, the Boy's try to get him out.
This is the short with the immortal line, "I have milk in my ear." Filled with ridiculous details, this is one of Stan and Ollie's best short..... which can be said of an astonishing number of them.
