Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe heavy object Stan pulls into the car when Ollie cannot get it moving forward is called a horse anchor or weight. These were used when there was no hitching post available. The weight was tied to the horse's halter or bridle and placed on the ground. This was usually enough to keep the horse in place until its owner returned.
- GoofsThe trunk is set on fire and flips around in the air, then lands upside down. But in the very next shot, it is shown right-side up.
- Alternate versionsWhen released on video with Video Treasures, the following scene was removed: When Ollie accidentally get's his head stuck in the head of the bed Stan helps him pull it out. The video release showed the Before and After of the gag instead of the middle, so it cuts right to the broken bed head and Ollie rubbing his neck.

HE WAS PACKING A TRUNK AND FELL IN?
If you're a Laurel and Hardy fan, you know that anything with Mae Busch is a classic. GOING BYE BYE is filled with gags and one liners, well directed by veteran Charley Rogers. Rogers may have just let he cameras roll and had the boys improvise their material, which was the key to their success.
Stan and Ollie's testimony have locked away tough guy Walter Long --for LIFE! Of course, Long declares somehow, someway he'll get out of prison and wrap their legs around their necks! The boys decide to get outta' town fast and advertise for a companion to pay expenses. Who else but Mae Busch --Long's gal pal? Long, as can be expected, crashes out of the big house and there's trouble brewin'!
Lots of goofy material, especially Long locked inside a trunk and the boys trying to get him out --not knowing who he is. By the way, watch the room fall apart! An interesting footnote, mentioned many times, Stan Laurel liked using Walter Long as a heavy, because --as he put it --he had absolutely no comedic ability. Best as a bad guy with NO smiles.
Mae Busch is a stylish dresser in this one, looking fabulous.
This short is one of a handful that was colored for vhs back in the 1980s and 90s, but the old black and white prints have never lost their charm. Also remastered blu ray.
