Plot

Police officer Edgar Kennedy is warned by his Police chief to make arrests to stop a burglary epidemic on his patch or face the sack. Kennedy comes across vagrants Laurel and Hardy that night and persuades them to rob the chief's house to get in his boss's good books. Stan and Ollie encounter various problems but after various complications, the chief catches Kennedy with various valuables in his house, while the boys manage somehow to escape.

Trivia

The film was also released in an alternate Spanish version, Ladrones, expanded to nearly four reels in length instead of the English two reels.Both versions are now available on DVD.

This was Edgar Kennedy's final supporting role in a Laurel and Hardy film at Roach;he would not appear with the team again until Air Raid Wardens, released 13 years later.

It was the first film to use their celebrated theme tune, the 'ku-ku' song, written by Marvin Hatley.
