00:15Dear ladies and gentlemen, Hal Roach presents, for your entertainment and approval, Laurel and Hardy, in their latest comedy entitled,
00:26Another Fine Mess.
00:28Photography by Jack Stevens, recording by Elmer Vegas, editing by Richard Currier, dialogue by H.M. Walker, and direction by
00:37Jane Parris. We thank you.
01:15Now bear in mind, Meadows, I'm leaving everything in your care. Be sure that the person who rents my house
01:21is reliable. A person you can trust.
01:25Yes, sir. Very good. Well, goodbye. Goodbye, Colonel.
01:35And don't forget to tell me, sir.
01:41Thank heaven he's gone.
01:44South Africa has my sympathy.
02:08What's the matter?
02:11Say, Kelly, did you see a couple of bozos run this way?
02:14Sure, a couple just went in there.
02:16What's wrong?
02:17Trying to make a hotel out of the city park.
02:19Why, they even put a couple of benches together so that they could have twin beds.
02:23Oh, yeah?
02:23Yes.
02:24And when I told him to move on, the little fella tips his hat and said,
02:29Yes, ma'am.
02:31That's what I'm sore about.
02:33Ha ha ha.
02:52He's gone.
02:54Come on, let's get out of here.
03:09Well, there's another nice mess you've gotten me into.
03:13Yes, ma'am.
03:22Come on, let's reconnoiter.
03:42Come on, let's go.
04:26Now, are you sure you have everything?
04:29Oh, certainly I've got everything.
04:30Will you get a move on before we miss that boat?
04:32Oh, all right.
04:33Oh, come on, hurry up.
04:36Get a move on.
04:37Oh, I'm coming.
04:38But listen, do you really think it's safe for us to go away like this and leave this place until
04:43Monday?
04:44Oh, sure.
04:45The colonel won't be back for at least six months.
04:47And what's the difference if we rent the house today or next week?
04:50It's all the same.
04:51All right, go on, go on.
04:53Oh, you're always ready to start an argument.
04:55Oh, and you're always blaming me.
05:08Get out of here.
05:09Come on.
05:30Let's go out the side window.
05:45Oh, you're welcome.
05:50Oh, you're welcome.
06:01Oh, you're welcome.
06:02Oh, you're welcome.
06:18Well, this must be the place.
06:21It's perfectly ripping.
06:23It reminds me of old Avonsmere.
06:25It's just the thing.
06:36Oh, is it the cops?
06:41Who is this Colonel Buckshot?
06:43What's he like?
06:44I haven't the slightest idea.
06:46I never met the old dear.
06:48Oh, I do hope he rents us the place.
06:51It's somebody to rent the place.
06:59What'll we do?
07:01Do?
07:02Just use your brains.
07:05You put on the butler's clothes and tell him the Colonel is not home.
07:08Simple.
07:09Yes, but it makes...
07:10Don't argue about...
07:28Wait, wait, Ambrose.
07:29I think I hear someone coming.
07:38Is this the home of Colonel Wilberforce Buckshot?
07:41Yes, sir.
07:42Well, I understand this place is for rent.
07:45Is it?
07:46I mean, it is.
07:47Yes.
07:48Ha, ha, ha.
07:49Ha, ha, ha.
07:52Of course it is.
07:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:54I am Lord Leopold Plumfrey.
07:58My car.
08:07Hey.
08:09The Colonel isn't home.
08:12You'll have...
08:15You wish to see the Colonel?
08:17Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
08:19Well, I'd love to.
08:20Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
08:21Colonel Buckshot.
08:23Oh, Ollie.
08:27Colonel Buckshot.
08:30Wait there.
08:37Colonel Buckshot.
08:45What is it, hives?
08:52It's Lord Appletree.
08:54He wants to rent a room.
08:56Oh, no, my dear fellow.
08:57Plumfrey, Plumfrey.
08:58Lord Leopold Plumfrey.
09:03And I want to rent the entire house.

14:11Yes, the billiard room.

14:52Are you any relation to the butler?
14:54Oh, yes, yes.
14:55They are twins.
14:56You see, one was born in Detroit and the other in Miami.
15:00I don't quite understand.
15:01Oh, that's all right.
15:02Neither do they.
15:04Oh, strange.
15:05Agnes, you may go.
15:06Yes, sir.
15:07Oh, Agnes, when you see my wife, give her my regard.
15:36Oh, you're Agnes.
15:38So, you're Agnes.
15:41Yes, ma'am.
15:46My, what a striking resemblance between you and the butler.
15:50Yes, ma'am.
15:50You see, I'm twins.
15:53How remarkable.
16:01I'd like to find out a few details regarding the house.
16:04Yes, ma'am.
16:05Tell me, Agnes, how long have you been here?
16:07About a half an hour.
16:08Oh, how silly of me.
16:11I'm so nervous.
16:13I mean, a half a year.
16:14To be exact, three months.
16:18How many bedrooms are there?
16:20I haven't looked yet.
16:22You haven't looked yet.
16:23Oh, I'm still nervous.
16:25That's silly of me.
16:27Bedrooms.
16:28Now, let me see.
16:28Of course there must be bedrooms.
16:30Uh, fancy a house without bedrooms.
16:33That's silly.
16:35Now, let me see now.
16:36There's mine and the master's.
16:37And master's and mine.
16:39That's four.
16:40Uh, not forgetting the couch in the hall.
16:43Then there's, uh...
16:44No, no, no, no.
16:45There's the master's and yours.
16:48That's two.
16:48Oh, yeah.
16:49How silly.
16:50Uh, two.
16:51Oh, and then there's the nursery.
16:53The nursery?
16:53Yes, ma'am.
16:54Why?
16:54I didn't understand that the colonel was married.
16:56Oh, oh, no, of course.
16:59He has that in case of accident.
17:01Accident?
17:01Yeah.
17:02Oh, no, no.
17:03You misunderstood me, didn't you?
17:05Isn't that silly?
17:06He has that in case of accident to any of the help around the house.
17:09A sort of a kind of a hospital.
17:11Oh, how noble of him.
17:14Isn't it?
17:16Oh, my well.
17:17Tell me, Agnes.
17:18Uh, how many maids does the colonel keep?
17:23Oh, he never tells me his private affairs.
17:26Private affairs?
17:28Why, servants are private affairs.
17:30Oh, some of them are.
17:32You see, I'm the only one left to present.
17:34The others left last week.
17:35That housemaid's needs.
17:43Agnes, wouldn't you like to stay on with us?
17:47Huh?
17:47Oh, now, don't disappoint me.
17:49Say that you will.
17:51You'll be such a comfort to me.
17:53My husband will be away most of the time.
17:56Oh, say that you will.
17:58Oh, go on.
18:02Ah, at last I've found it, Lord Appletree.
18:06Plum tree, my dear fellow.
18:08Plum tree.
18:09Accent on the lamb, my car.
18:12Plum tree, plum tree, plum tree.
18:14I am awfully sorry.
18:17I am awfully sorry.
18:29Leopold.
18:31Are you quite satisfied, darling?
18:33Oh, perfectly, my dear.
18:35And what good news I have for you, Leopold.
18:38With the Colonel's permission, Agnes has consented to stay on with us.
18:45Why, nothing would please me better.
18:48She's been in my service since boyhood.
18:50I mean, girlhood.
18:57Now, dear, will you return to the depot and attend to our trunks?
19:01While I go over final details with dear old Bucky.
19:04Quite bright, clummy.
19:07Come, Agnes, see me off.
19:10Yes, ma'am.
19:10You're such a dear.
19:15Oh, Agnes.
19:17Call me a cab.
19:19Huh?
19:20Call me a cab.
19:23You're a cab.
19:25On the telephone!
19:30Are you quite sure we can take immediate possession?
19:33Oh, absolutely.
19:36I'm leaving in a few minutes.
19:38It won't be long now.
19:40Wonderful.
19:42What would the rental be?
19:46Uh...
19:47Would $20 a month be too much?
19:50$20 a month?
19:52Yes.
19:54Why, that's practically giving it away, Colonel.
19:58Well, I picked it up for practically nothing myself.
20:03What a beautiful car.
20:05Is it for sale?
20:06Uh...
20:07It could be purchased.
20:09Oh, by the way, Colonel, have you any horses?
20:11I'm sorry.
20:13I've just shipped all of my horses to my plantation in Kentucky.
20:16Kentucky?
20:17What part of Kentucky do you come from, Colonel?
20:20Omaha.
20:21Dear old Omaha.
20:24I thought Omaha was in Wisconsin.
20:27About Agnes' salary.
20:29Oh, uh, don't worry about that.
20:31That isn't due until next month.
20:33Uh...
20:34Agnes, call Hives.
20:36Uh...
20:37Call Hives.
20:39Oh, Hives!
20:43Pardon me just a moment.
20:45Uh...
20:45Here...
20:46Aliah...
20:48Tyves...
20:48Ohhhh!
20:53Hives will be right down.
20:54Cigarette, Colonel.
20:56Uh, won't you have one?
20:59Hm...
21:03Now, my dear Plumtree, I think that covers everything.
21:06Yes, I think so, Colonel.
21:08I shall add it up and give you a cheque for sends.
21:10Very good, very good.
21:112, 3, 7, stop...
21:13Carry on.
21:16Ah, there you are, Hives.
21:18Hives, what is your salary?
21:21Oh, pardon me just a moment.
21:27Oh, by the way, Hives, what is your day on?
21:31Tuesday.
21:32Tuesday?
21:33Why, today's Tuesday.
21:35However, I shan't alter conditions.
21:37You may have your day on.
21:38Oh, and by the way, on your way out,
21:40tell Agnes I want to see her.
21:49Carlos, you're not a very easy man to do business with.
21:53So the Morgans have told me.
21:55You see, the last deal that we had on the whole...
22:01Just a minute.
22:02I forgot to pack my bow and arrow.
22:04I forgot to pack my bow and arrow.
22:08Just a minute.
22:09I forgot to pack my bow and arrow.
22:10Just a minute.
22:12I forgot to pack my bow and arrow.
22:12Oh, Agnes!
22:19Uh, that's my cat.
22:21Get my hat and coat and go to the door.
22:23What do you think I...
22:26Well, goodbye, plummy.
22:28Pleasant journey, Colonel.
22:36What's this?
22:37You wish to see Colonel Buckshot?
22:40What?
22:46Why, nothing would suit me better.
22:49Colonel Buckshot!
22:52Uh, pardon me.
22:54Just a moment, Colonel.
22:55Your check.
22:55Oh, that's all right.
22:57Just mail it to me to South Africa.
23:03Uh...
23:04Did you wish to see me?
23:07So, you're Colonel Buckshot?
23:10At your service.
23:11The last of the Kentucky Buckshots.
23:15Then, uh, who do you think I am?
23:19Don't tell me.
23:20Let me guess.
23:21Now, just a moment, I'll get it.
23:22Now, where have I seen that face before?
23:25Now, let's see.
23:26Let's see.
23:28Oh, you...
23:28No, no, no.
23:29That isn't it.
23:30Now, wait...
23:31It's, uh...
23:32No, it isn't either.
23:33Now, wait just a minute.
23:34I'll get it.
23:35Uh, that's all right.
23:36I'll get it.
23:36You just wait a second, Nowlet.
23:38Uh...
23:39Don't tell me, Agnes.
23:39I'll get it.
23:40I'll get it right out of here.
23:42Just a moment, Nowlet.
23:54I know who you are.
23:57My размер.
24:11Mm-hmm.
24:13Police! Help! Officers! Police! Burglars!
24:20Pardon me. Come, Agnes.
24:25Why, who are you?
24:29Do you wish to see Colonel Buckshot?
24:31He's in there.
24:33And who do you think I am?
24:34I haven't the slightest idea.
24:36Get out of my house.
24:37Get out of my house!
24:41Oh, God save the King!
24:43Help! Help! Help!
24:44What's wrong? There's burglars in this house and they're in there!
24:48Burglars? Yes!
24:49Let's go!
25:12Come here, Herrione!
25:13Give it a bone!
25:16Ow! Ow!
25:20vent
