Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are "professional" movers. They deliver a piano up a hill of steps. They encounter Professor von Schwarzenhoffen (Billy Gilbert) who hates pianos.
This Laurel and Hardy short actually won an Oscar. Stanley is a bit mean in this one. I always like Stanley more when he's a clueless sweetheart. The steps are somewhat famous. I've seen them in different scenes over the years. Quite frankly, it's been almost a century of those steps. They've added rails and are now covered with foliage since then. Laurel and Hardy are fine physical comedians. They do fine work with this basic premise. I do have one question. Why did she buy him a piano when she knows he hates them? There are a couple of these annoying discrepancies that keep me from loving this.
