Berth Marks 🎭🎬 Laurel and Hardy 🚂😂

Stanley and Oliver, who consider themselves essential vaudeville performers, are en route to Pottsville for their upcoming show. While aboard the train, they accidentally stumble into the wrong sleeping compartment and startle a partially dressed woman. Unfortunately, the woman's angry husband confuses one of the other passengers for the intruder, leading to a chaotic scuffle that results in torn clothing. The duo spends the remainder of the journey attempting to fit into their small upper berth.

At the time when talkies were not yet widespread, a silent version of the film was produced to cater to theaters that did not have the necessary equipment.

In the initial film of a series of four, Laurel & Hardy can be seen losing their hats simultaneously when they lean down to retrieve the sheet music. This phenomenon also occurs in their subsequent films, Me and My Pal (1933), Block-Heads (1938), and The Big Noise (1944).

Although the train's route is not clearly defined, it can be deduced from various clues throughout the film. The first station mentioned in the opening title card is Santa Fe Depot in San Diego. The final destination is Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The train announcer says other cities like Winnipeg, Albany, and New York City. Additionally, the train remarkably completes the entire journey in just 19 minutes.
