Out Now
Synopsis
The Dancing
Masters
Stan and Ollie show their artistic side - not to mention their
ballerina costumes - in this slapstick gem "directed with gusto and
tempo by Mal St. Clair" (Variety). A pair of thugs (one of whom is
played by a young Robert Mitchum) has tricked Ollie into insuring
Stan's legs. Now, when the boys could really use that insurance
money to help a friend, Ollie simply has to find a way to break
Stan's leg. It should be easy, except it seem s that he's the one
who keeps getting hurt!
The Bullfighters
When detectives Laurel and Hardy head to Mexico City to catch a petty thief, they manage to lose the girl… and end up in the bullfighting ring. The boys are hot on the trail of Larceny Neil when it is discovered that Stan bears a striking resemblance to Spanish matador Don Sebastian. Soon, the señoritas are fawning, and an agent wants to hire Stan to impersonate the bullfighter, who is late arriving to town. Only problem is, when Sebastian still hasn't shown by the day of the big fight, a terrified Stan must don the gilded jacket in his stead.
A-Haunting We Will Go
Stan and Ollie are recruited to transport a not-so-dead body to Dayton, but when the coffin is accidently switched with one of Dante the Magician's props, they're left scrambling. Now, as the boys don genie costumes to join the show, and angry thugs wait in the wings to collect their "corpse", a murder mystery unfolds right in the middle of ther perfomance. This time, even the magician himself will be shocked and amazed by what happens!
