Thicker Than Water
Oliver's in trouble with his wife after missing a payment on their furniture, having given the money to Stanley, who used it instead to pay Mrs. Hardy for his room and board. At Stan's suggestion Ollie then withdraws the couple's savings from the bank to pay for the furniture and inadvertently pays virtually the whole amount at an auction for a grandfather clock which is soon crushed under a passing truck. Mrs Hardy then unintentionally causes serious injuries to Ollie requiring him to be rushed to hospital for a blood transfusion. The doctor conscripts Stan to be the unwilling blood donor. Problems occur with the transfusion and when Stan and Ollie leave the hospital they appear to have morphed into each other.

This short film of the great comedic duo, clearly during their apex of exuberance and quality, has great comic writing by both Stan Laurel and Frank Tashlin, the latter of which utilized that mayhem early in his career with great 'Looney Tunes' cartoons and then later in live-action laugh-o-ramas starring the likes of Jerry Lewis (himself a great Laurel enthusiast) and Jayne Mansfield. This shouldn't be missed by any…
