An early pre teaming of Stan and Ollie in which they share alot of screen time with Ollie being a bully and Stan an effete simpleton. Originally there was a gag in which James Finlayson walks up and down the aisle of a sleeping car full, of soldiers whose stocking feet causes him to faint. Another gag had Stan pacing up and down in front of an out house finally he pounds on a door which is opened by a quarter master revealing it to be a store room and Stan wants to return a mop and bucket. Both sequences were cut.
James Finlayson makes one of his many appearances in this Laurel and Hardy short.
