Plot

Oliver is making plans to be married to his sweetheart Dulcy (Babe London) with Stan as his best man, but the plans are thwarted when Dulcy's father (James Finlayson) sees a picture of Ollie and forbids the marriage. The couple plan to elope, and steal away at night to a Justice of the Peace. After typical Laurel and Hardy blundering, they manage to sneak the girl away from her father's house.

After this, there is a memorable scene in which Ollie, his gargantuan fiancée and Stan try to cram into a tiny car Stan hired for their elopement, Ollie having expected a "limousine". After much struggling, they finally succeed in getting themselves and a suitcase into the car, but as they move off, it tilts up under the weight and Stan's head smashes through the roof. The film concludes with a cross-eyed justice (Ben Turpin) marrying Ollie to Stan.

gollark: The MPU6050 has an accelerometer + gyroscope for that, and I think it has *some* way to give you absolute orientation data through something.
gollark: And there's no way to get it to get absolute orientation using the magnetometer data too?
gollark: How would you not be able to get that if you used the magnetometer + MPU6050?
gollark: It should probably be fine.
gollark: Oh, I used one of those for a thing, the drift was fine and the magnetometer probably lets you compensate for it.
