The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case
A lighthearted silent-era comedy that playfully parodies murder mysteries while celebrating the bumbling camaraderie of its two leads.
The boys think their days of fishing to feed themselves have come to an end, when Stan's rich uncle Ebenezer dies leaving a large estate. But they soon learn that Ebenezer was murdered and all the relatives, including Stan, are suspects.
