Double Whoopee
A lighthearted silent slapstick comedy where Stan and Ollie's bumbling incompetence at a fancy hotel generates physical humor and comic chaos.
Stan and Ollie wreak havoc at an upper class hotel in their jobs as footman (Hardy) and doorman (Laurel). They partially undress blonde bombshell Jean Harlow (in a brief appearance) and repeatedly escort a stuffy nobleman into an empty elevator shaft.
