This is actually a very good comedy. Larry Semon and Stan Laurel work very well together. Laurel is really at his early years best.
The story is of two convicts always trying to escape, until one day when they actually manage to. They meet up with a girl and become rivals for her charms.
The second part of the film falls short when Laurel almost totally disappears from the picture. According to Stan Laurel this was in response to the actor Antonio Moreno commenting at a showing of the dailies that Laurel was funnier than Semon, causing Semon to change the plotline of the story.
