Two convicts
(Laurel & Hardy), in an escape attempt, tunnel into the warden's office,
instead. They then disguise themselves as painters and walk out the front gate.
Needing new clothes, they steal suits from visiting dignitaries, take their
places in a limousine, and are delivered back to the same prison for a
tour.
Trivia
Laurel and
Hardy's heads were shaved for their appearance in this film, and their hair had
not yet grown back in their roles in Max Davidson's Call of the Cuckoos (1927),
released a week after this film.
This was the
first Laurel and Hardy film to be released by MGM.
This is one of the few films in the Laurel &
Hardy canon in which they don't use their own names.
