Poor
Oliver Hardy has gout, his doctor (
Billy Gilbert) tells him he needs to get some mountain air. With
Stan Laurel, he heads into the countryside with a trailer. They find an idyllic spot which apparently has no inhabitants... in fact those inhabitants were arrested a short time ago. They were moonshiners and they dumped their booze down the well before the arrest.
Unaware of this Stan fills a bucket of "water" from the well. It doesn't take long until he and Ollie are absolutely hammered. Passing motorist Mrs Hall (Mae Busch) also gets drunk much to her husband's (Charlie Hall) fury...
A highly enjoyable comedy short, a simple idea which is pushed to the max. Silly and perfectly timed with a good dose of slapstick.
