Step by step.....
Just like that comedy sketch from Abbott and Costello's "Lost in a Harem" and a popular "I Love Lucy" episode, Oliver Hardy goes nutty every time he hears a horn blow, having worked in a car horn factory and going "horn happy". The "hornophobia" plot device ties together the hour long Hal Roach comedy, the last one he produced with his most popular stars.
There are many funny scenes in this farcial comedy, but it's not as good as the previous one they did, "A Chump at Oxford". The best scenes are neighbor Mary Gordon showing off a refrigerator that plays the radio and a radio covered in ice, Oliver's hanging on by a phone wire as Laurel tries to get a mattress filled car underneath him, and a few cute dealings with their pet goat. I cringed during the whole eating sequence of Laurel and Hardy's attempt to feed escaped convict Richard Cramer a bunch of sea equipment disguised as spaghetti, but laughed at many others. James Finlayson and Ben Turpin provide some amusing moments, but unfortunately, it's not as good as I remembered it to be.
