Laurel's and Hardy's first full length, 1 February 2000
Author: Petri Pelkonen (petri_pelkonen@hotmail.com) from Finland

In Laurel's and Hardy's first full length talking picture the boys go behind bars.And Stan's loose tooth gets the boys in trouble many times, when it starts making a funny noise every time he speaks.Pardon Us offers you many funny moments with Laurel and Hardy.
