Pack Up Your Troubles
From crack-pot civilians to coo-coo privates–they'll lead you a chase so crammed with hysterical laughter, you'll say it's even funnier than their first feature, "Pardon Us."
Directed by Ray McCarey, George Marshall
Produced by Hal Roach Studios
A lighthearted Laurel and Hardy comedy that uses wartime and post-war settings as a backdrop for slapstick humor and a heartwarming quest to reunite an orphan with her family.
The story begins in 1917 with Stan and Ollie being drafted into the U.S. Army to fight in World War I. While in the Army, the pair befriend a man named Eddie Smith, who is killed by the enemy during a battle. After the war is over, Stan and Ollie venture to New York City, where they begin a quest to reunite Eddie's little daughter with her rightful family. The task proves both monumental and problematic as the boys discover just how many people in New York have the last name Smith.
