Bootleggers
Directed by Leonid Gaidai
Produced by Mosfilm
A lighthearted slapstick comedy short where three bumbling friends' moonshine operation unravels through their mischievous dog's innocent interference with the law.
This is the second silent (save for a song) slapstick comedy short about adventures of Worldly, Coward, and Fool. In a small hunting lodge three friends are making illegal moonshine. Bottled "product" fills shelves quickly. Life is good. But their dog Barbos doesn't understand that bringing a moonshine condenser coil to a police station is a bad idea...
