Abgründiges Lachen

A judge whose life is in danger hires the two worst detectives in the world to protect him. Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy go on the hunt for criminals in DO DETECTIVES THINK? and turn the judge's household upside down in the process. NEVER WEAKEN tells the story of Harold and Mildred and a love affair full of misunderstandings. Not only does Harold become a job saviour, he also unwittingly puts his life in danger on top of a skyscraper. THE SCARECROW is about the turbulent marriage proposals of two friends who fall in love with the same farmer's daughter, leading to a hair-raising chase. Three short films in which the laws of physics are suspended and which present a cinema full of absurdities that still provoke roars of laughter today.
