Starring Oliver Hardy, Stan Laurel, James Finlayson, and June Marlowe. Directed by James Parrott. It is prohibition and beer barons Laurel and Hardy are sent to prison for concocting their own home brew. They are put in a cell with Tiger Long, the roughest, toughest, and meanest of all inmates. Stan has a loose tooth that causes him to emit a razzberry at the end of every sentence. Tiger interprets this as a coolly defiant attitude and is impressed — nobody else ever stood up to him like that. He and Stan and Ollie become fast friends. After a prison break, the boys escape to a cotton plantation, where they hide out undetected in black-face. When they attempt to repair the warden's car they are discovered and are sent back to prison. They inadvertently break up a prison riot and the grateful warden issues them a pardon.
