Novice police officers Laurel & Hardy have an eventful evening when they’re called to investigate a housebreaking. Hampered by a lost address, an irritable safecracker, and an uncooperative house, the boys’ determination to serve and protect leads to a series of comic mishaps, as they find their suspect isn’t quite who he seems to be. —Nina Rao
