Helpmates

This Laurel and Hardy film opens up with an extremely-hungover Oliver Hardy admonishing himself for throwing such a wild party the night before. An arriving telegram informs him that his wife is due to come back that day. He must pull his mess of a home together — fast., “Laurel & Hardy” short in which Oliver and Stanley race against the clock to clean Oliver’s house before his wife returns after a wild party leaves his place a mess. Bobby Burns. Directed by James Parrott.
