Oliver is making plans to marry his sweetheart Dulcy with Stan as his best man, but the plans are thwarted when Dulcy's father sees a picture of Ollie and forbids the marriage. The couple plan to elope, and run away to a Justice of the Peace. After typical Laurel and Hardy blundering, they manage to sneak the girl away from her father's house.
A short slapstick comedy from the early sound era that runs almost entirely on Ollie's pomp and Stan's clumsiness. The pace is brisk, and the gags build step by step out of a simple everyday situation. You watch two well-meaning bunglers make an easy task harder and harder.
Good for you if you enjoy classic black-and-white slapstick and want short, cosy comedies for an evening.
