Who?
Police Chief Anders Randulf is upset with beat cop Edgar Kennedy because of the burglars he hasn't caught. Kennedy has a brainstorm: he offers not to run in a couple of tramps if they'll burgle the chief's house so he can catch them. It's a brilliant plan, with one small flaw: his stooges are Laurel and Hardy.
Edgar Kennedy was a brilliant comic himself, who had been one of the Keystone Kops. He had directed a couple of the Boy's silent shorts, but he was largely a supporting comic at the Roach lot. He gets a couple of good gags here, although Stan and Ollie, of course, are the main show.
