Night Owls
Directed by James Parrott
Produced by Hal Roach Studios
A lighthearted slapstick comedy about a desperate cop who recruits two vagrants to stage a burglary, with plans that predictably unravel into chaos.
Policeman Edgar Kennedy is told by his chief he better stop a string of burglaries that have been happening on his watch or else he will get the sack. He persuades vagrants Stan and Ollie to rob the chief's house so he can regain his reputation by catching them. The policeman promises to later get the boys off. Things do not go as planned.
