like a thief in the night
When a cop has to stop thefts, he hires Laurel and Hardy to burglarize a home so that he can catch them. Sure enough, the combination of Ollie's size and Stan's incompetence causes one thing after another to go wrong.
"Night Owls" has the significance of being Laurel & Hardy's first short to use the cuckoo song as the theme song. As for the content, it's the duo engaging in their typical hilarious antics. One can see them as the inspiration for Gilligan and the Skipper.
PS: Edgar Kennedy played the lemonade vendor in the Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup". Co-star Anders Rudolf died a few months after this short got released.
