With Mr. Finlayson ecstatic at the prospect of his daughter’s marriage right up until the point at which he sees a photograph of her intended, Mr. Hardy, Ollie, with the aid (read: hindrance) of his best pal Stan, is forced to change his plans and arrange an elopement – unfortunately, said midnight flit relies rather too heavily on said dim-witted chum, in this entertaining Laurel and Hardy short, featuring a memorable turn form Ben Turpin and a cracking punchline.
