Short Orders
Stan Laurel bounces between the kitchen and dining room of a disordered restaurant. Menu specialties include over-sugared doughnuts, exploding meringues, stinky cheese sandwiches and steaks that double as shoe leather. A final debacle gives new meaning to a restaurant’s going to the dogs.Start your free trial to watch

Detained
An escaped convict leaves a daydreaming Stan Laurel wearing prison stripes. Once arrested, the silent comedian’s character is the unwitting agent of a series of penitentiary pratfalls. Some of the gags are familiar (shaving cream in the kisser), others less so (an electric chair mishap). An extra spry Laurel hams it up for...Start your free trial to watch

Mandarin Mix-Up
Failing all tests of political correctness, Stan Laurel stars as a Chinatown launderer named Sum Sap. MANDARIN MIX-UP compensates for its questionable premise with brilliantly surreal slapstick. In one scene, a very adult Laurel plays an infant; in another, he floats through an opium dream. The location detail of a radiant...Start your free trial to watch

Rupert of Hee Haw
Stan Laurel slips and slides around several palatial sets in this silent spoof of RUPERT OF HENTZAU. Directed by Scott Pembroke (credited as "Percy" in his films of this period), HEE HAW abounds with banana peel pileups, silly swordplay and costume malfunctions.Start your free trial to watch

Navy Blue Days
Stan Laurel stars as a goofy sailor stationed in Latin America. Tired of laundry detail, he tries to prevail on his captain to bring him along to a chicken dinner at a pretty woman’s house. The captain demurs but that doesn’t trouble Stan. Competitive eating and a sombrero-filled slapstick chase ensue.Start your free trial to watch

Pie-Eyed
Stan Laurel careens through a wild bender in this Prohibition-era slapstick short. The moonshine burns right through the tablecloth and the owner of the Firewater Club packs a mean punch. Laurel is ejected from the premises and hauled into the police station. That’s where things get really out of hand. Though made before...Start your free trial to watch

Somewhere in Wrong
Stan Laurel stars as a tramp, “a fierce, fiery, fearless, two-fisted loafer.” Trouble announces itself as a plate loaded with doughnuts on a windowsill. The farmer’s daughter takes pity on him and Stan falls in love. Before the end there will be tears, broken dishes and more doughnuts.Start your free trial to watch

Hard Boiled Yeggs

The will states that if Billy should die, two thugs will get the money and the café. The...Start your free trial to watch
