Them Thar Hills is a 1934 short comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy. The story involves Stan and Ollie traveling to the mountains for Ollie to recover from gout. They camp out near a cabin of moonshiners; the moonshiners dump their brew in a well, which Stan, Ollie and proceed to drink from, thinking that it is healthy mountain water. The "tit for tat" sequence at the end involving familiar nemesis Charlie Hall is one of the team's most celebrated; so much so that a sequel, Tit for Tat, was released the following year.
