Stanley and Ollie want to attend the yearly convention of the Sons of the Desert, a fraternal group to which they belong. When Ollie's wife, Lollie (Mae Busch), objects, he feigns sickness and Stanley gets a doctor to prescribe a fake trip to Hawaii. After Stanley and Ollie revel with the Sons of the Desert, they return home to find out the ship they were supposedly on has sunk in a typhoon and they're forced to cover their tracks.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are the only comedians of the silent era and its transition to sound film that I loved and watched as a child. Even after years, they haven't lost their charm for me, and they are still entertaining. I remember them more as silent comedy characters, but they might be even better in their spoken roles. It's a classic that won't age much, but you also have to enjoy slapstick humor. I'm not always in the mood for it to be honest.
