Plot

A year prior to the first scene, Stan Laurel married Oliver Hardy's sister (played by Oliver), and Oliver married Stan's sister (played by Stan) in a double wedding. They all live together and Stan and Ollie work in the same office. After some gags involving telephones, the wives are seen making preparations for a surprise party to celebrate their first anniversary during which a cake lands on Mrs Hardy's head, causing her to bear an uncanny resemblance to a portrait of Elizabeth I on the kitchen wall. Stan and Ollie then arrive but the couples can't help but squabble throughout the party. In the final scenes a delivery boy (played by Charlie Hall) arrives with another cake which is thrown in Mrs Hardy's face by an acrimonious Mrs Laurel.

Production

• The other films in which Laurel and Hardy play dual roles are Brats and Our Relations.

• The voice of Mrs. Hardy (Stan's sister) is dubbed by Carol Tevis, whose voice is dubbed on the Munchkin singers in The Wizard of Oz (1939 film).

• The voice of Mrs. Laurel (Oliver's sister) is dubbed by Mae Wallace (who also appeared with Laurel and Hardy in "County Hospital" as a Nurse).

• This is the second time Stan Laurel appears in drag as Oliver Hardy's wife; the first was That's My Wife five years earlier, in which, after Ollie's real wife leaves him, he enlists Stan to dress in drag and pass him off to his rich uncle as his wife. Subsequently, Stan would appear in drag once more, ten years later, in Jitterbugs, briefly, as a Boston matron.

• It was the last film directed for them by James Parrott.
