Transcription

Plot

The short film.

Piedmont Mumblethunder eagerly anticipates the arrival of his Scottish nephew, Philip, at a pier. Unfamiliar with Philip's appearance but armed with the knowledge that he becomes overwhelmed in the presence of women, Piedmont anxiously awaits his arrival. To his surprise, the misbehaving kilted man during a ship examination turns out to be Philip. Initially taken aback by Philip's effeminate appearance, Piedmont attempts to engage him in conversation and guides him through the town.

However, Piedmont soon discovers that Philip is far from shy and, in fact, exhibits an unabashed fondness for women. His behavior leads to several embarrassing encounters, including inadvertently causing two women to faint by exposing himself while walking over a ventilator grate. Frustrated by Philip's conduct, Piedmont decides to intervene and takes him to a tailor to procure trousers, which Philip vehemently opposes.

Unwilling to give up his pursuit of a young woman he encountered earlier, Philip leaves the tailor's shop. In an attempt to impress her, he removes his kilt to cover a mud puddle, only to be met with rejection when the woman effortlessly bypasses it. The situation further deteriorates when Piedmont, stepping on the discarded kilt, tumbles into a muddy pit.[2] The film ends on a close-up of Oliver Hardy's face showing "a soon to be classic look of chagrin."[3]

Production notes

Although this was their first "official" film as a team, the iconic Stan and Ollie characters and costumes had yet to become a permanent fixture. Their first appearance as the now familiar "Stan and Ollie" characters was in The Second Hundred Years, directed by Fred Guiol and supervised by Leo McCarey, who suggested that the performers be teamed permanently.

The film was partially shot at the historic Culver Hotel.[4] The film was released on December 3, 1927.[5][6]

The idea for the film was Stan Laurel's and was based on a story recounted by a friend while Laurel worked in music hall.[2]

Cast

Reception

Archivist William K. Everson described the film as "one of the real gems of comedy from the late 1920s, and perhaps the most individual of all the Laurel and Hardy comedies, though not necessarily the funniest."[7]

"One of their most unusual, and certainly one of their best with some brilliant pantomime from Laurel, some marvellous sight gags, and a methodical construction that builds steadily, it's a delight throughout. We're deliberately saying nothing about plot since, if you haven't seen it, the sheer shock value of some of it will pay off better through knowing nothing in advance." — William K. Everson[7]
