Citazioni
Ollio: Now we've got to start all over again - right at the bottom!
Stanlio: Why don't we start at the top?
Ollio: Whaddaya mean?
Stanlio: Well, why don't we become bandits? Then we wouldn't have to work hard anymore. Let's get it the easy way. We could rob the rich and give them to the poor, and we could have all...
Ollio: [Interrupting him] That's the first time you've shown any intelligence.
Stanlio: Well, it's the first time you've listened to me. You know if you listened to me, in a while you'd be a lot better off.
Ollio: I guess you're right. Tell me that plan again.
Stanlio: [Bewildered] All of it?
Ollio: Certainly, certainly!
Stanlio: Well, if we became rich and we robbed the poor and gave them to the bandits and... we could start at the top, and we'd get to the bottom without working hard anymore. We can't go wrong. It's the law of conversation.
Ollio: What do you mean?
Stanlio: Well, as ye cast your bread on the waters, so shall ye reap.

Stanlio and Ollio

Dennis King is a marquis, traveling around the countryside. trying to seduce Thelma Todd. He is also the notorious bandit Fra Diavolo, although that's supposed to be a secret.

Laurel and Hardy offer a lot of comic relief to this Americanized version of the Auber operetta; although the music is used throughout the movie, there's little in the way of actual singing until halfway through. Mostly it's an excuse for Laurel and Hardy to offer a lot of comic relief Stanley provides most of the gags, including his disconcerting nimbleness, while Ollie is his perpetually disconcerted straight man and unconscious accomplice. The singing, what there is of it, is good. Miss Todd is gorgeous, although she doesn't get much to do. With the Boys to while away the time, who cares?
