It's Prohibition, and the boys wind up behind bars after Stan sells some of their home-brew beer to a policeman.

Release Date 1931-08-15
Runtime 1h 8m
Director James Parrott
Producers Hal Roach, Erich J.A. Pietrek
Writers Stan Laurel, H.M. Walker

This 'prison'-focused full-length film--the first by Laurel and Hardy--was a ton of laughs, as they bring their unique brand of hijinks to such aspects as a hilarious loose tooth of Stan's causing him to make the worst possible sounds at the most inopportune times, and walking-on-eggshell relations with their cellmate, the infamous 'Tiger'. Very good and consistently re-watchable--even if it pales in comparison with their later movies.
