Great fun to watch some fine Laurel and Hardy set-pieces, wrecking an elite dinner party, foiling a bank robbery, being run over the coals twice during university initiation and finally Stan overcoming amnesia to discover he was once a prized Oxford great. Weirdly tied together, but it still works for me.
