Laurel and Hardy against a black widow? Sounds original, and it begins well, but the dinner-with-imaginary-food sequence in the middle goes on too long. This short does manage to work up some suspense at the end....before the same terrible ending that the other L&H short I watched today, "The Laurel and Hardy Murder Case", had. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. **1/2 out of 4.
