This is one of Laurel and Hardy's better shorts--regardless of whether or not it was a silent film. You can see that although it is indeed an early pairing for the team, they have their rhythm and the film is a great example of a Laurel and Hardy film.

The film begins with dim Stanly dropping by the Hardy's home. They pretend to be away, but Ollie (being only marginally brighter than Stan) accidentally lets Stan know they ARE home. Well, Stan comes inside and eventually convinces Ollie to come with him for a game of golf.

At the course, the boys meet a couple pretty ladies who agree to go with them for golf and a soda. The soda is a problem, since the boys are short of cash and the familiar routine of "let the girls each get a drink and you and I will share one" occurs. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the routine was done in several of their films--this, I think, it probably the earliest example.

While golfing, problem after problem naturally occur--after all, if it DIDN'T, it wouldn't be a Laurel and Hardy film.

Slapstick highlights of the film include Ollie jumping over his picket fence, Edgar Kennedy accidentally wearing sod instead of a toupee on his head and the climax involving a giant mud fight. Everying seems to work together flawlessly in this film. Apart from BIG BUSINESS, it's about the best silent film the team made.
