Synopsis:
In this Laurel & Hardy comedy classic, Ollie (Oliver Hardy) falls in love with Georgette (Jean Parker), an innkeeper’s daughter, only to discover that she is already married to handsome and dashing Foreign Legion officer Francois (Reginald Gardiner). Heartbroken, and after a failed but funny suicide attempt, Ollie joins the French Foreign Legion to forget his troubles, dragging his best friend Stanley (Stan Laurel) with him. The grueling work, the low wage of three cents a day and their hilarious antics soon land the pair in quite a pickle! Memorable highlights include Oliver Hardy singing “Shine On, Harvest Moon” while Stan Laurel performs a soft-shoe.
