Hiding from the law (whom Stanley called ma'am), Laurel and Hardy hide out in the mansion owned by the pompous James Finlayson who is going away for six months. Posing as the colonel and his servants, they attempt to rent the house to an eccentric English nobleman and his sexy wife (Thelma Todd). Laurel goes between being the twin butler and maid (born in different cities) and seemingly getting away with it until Finlayson makes a surprise return. Laurel in his wig without the maid's outfit looks like Harpo Marxx, while Hardy is as far from a Southern colonel as he can be. Another three reeler, this has a great finale where the boys end up riding a bicycle while sharing a bull costume.
