Stan and Ollie are charged with delivering the deed to a valuable gold mine to the daughter of a dead prospector. Just over an hour of pure joy, this is one of the greatest pleasures in screen history. L&H are in top form here as they perform a charming soft-shoe shuffle and sing “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine”. Packed with stand-out comedy moments and many of their very best routines. [U]
