Night Owls - Laurel and Hardy

Night Owls (1930) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edgar Kennedy, James Finlayson

"Stan and Oliver are soon coerced into attempting to burglarize the Police Chief’s house so that Policeman Kennedy can catch them in the act, and be a hero to his boss. As for Laurel and Hardy, Kennedy promises to let them go — “Kennedy will fix it!” — and, given the alternative of 90 days “on the rock pile” for vagrancy, Oliver convinces Stan to go along. Later that night, in the alley behind the Chief’s house, is a smorgasbord of slapstick comedy."
