"I Thought You Said Tip My Hat"

8/10

"Stan and Ollie have gone into business with an electrical appliance store and it just happens to be located next to the grocery store of Mae Busch and Charley Hall. As fate would have it they've got a history with Mae and Charley going back to a previous short subject Them Thar Hills. Charley's of a suspicious nature, no doubt aggravated by seeing Ollie coming down the stairs of his apartment above the store and saying goodbye to Mae. There is an innocent explanation for it all, in fact it was caused by Stan, I won't say how. This gets Hall's back up and they start a war..."

💡 Did You Know?

This was the only Laurel and Hardy short that could be called a sequel. Here the owners of the grocery store next to Stan and Ollie's new electrical shop are the same Mr and Mrs Hall who stopped in at Stan and Ollie's trailer in the mountains when their car broke down in Them Thar Hills (1934). (Other than this coincidence, there is no other connection between the two stories.)
