Mrs. Laurel, eavesdropping on another line, is furious, but continues listening as Stan tells Ollie that he knows where he can get some liquor. His plan is to steal the bottle that his wife has hidden in the house, and later blame the loss on the ice man. Mrs. Laurel immediately launches a scheme of her own she replaces the alcohol with a nonalcoholic mixture. Stan and Ollie proceed to get drunk at the nightclub, having a wonderful time. That is, until an angry Mrs. Laurel turns up armed with a shotgun, reveals that their liquor is merely cold tea, chases them into the street, and demolishes their cab with one wellaimed shot.The film originally had no music except for the orchestral version of the Ku Ku song on opening titles. The original version of the film also is not available for viewing and survives only in a censored 1937 rerelease print which had PreCode sequences removed about one reel of material was cut. On that version, a background music track was added which was a mixture of a few Leroy Shield jazzy tunes and some music commonly used in 1937 Hal Roach films. ........
