[edit] Plot
In a packed courtroom, Butch Long vows revenge on 'squealers' Laurel and Hardy whose evidence has helped to send him to prison for the rest of his life. Laurel whines to the judge "Aren't you going to hang him?" Later, in the car, Ollie repeats this question sarcastically, since he saw Long's reaction just after Stan said it; he then asks Stan, "Couldn't you see that he was annoyed?" (an understatement to be sure!)
The clearly frightened boys make plans to move far away and advertise for someone to go with them. The person involved is actually Butch's girlfriend. Butch manages to escape and makes his way to his girlfriend's apartment,where Stan and Ollie ring the bell. Butch hides in a trunk thinking it's the cops; the trunk gets locked and Butch can't get out. The boys do their best to get him out,not realising the person who's trapped.After several inept attempts at freeing him,Butch notices Ollie through a bored hole. His suggestion of using a blowtorch to melt the lock off backfires as Butch is set on fire. The boys hose Butch down and he frees himself from the trunk,taking his promised revenge on them as the cops arrive shortly afterwards.
