Stan and Ollie arrive as new inmates at a prison after apparently taking part in a hold-up raid, a raid they tell a prison officer they were only watching. The usual mayhem ensues.
A silent short that runs almost entirely on slapstick: two convicts, a rock quarry, a strict guard and a chain of small mishaps that feed on each other. The pace is quick, the gags are physical and played with a straight face. Laurel and Hardy turn every small task into a routine that starts harmless and then slips out of control.
Good for you if you like short, fast silent-era slapstick and do not need much plot.
