Laurel and Hardy are fetching ice cream for their wives when they rescue Mae Busch from suicide. Who, however, will rescue them from Mae Busch?
Whenever this showed up on the afternoon kid's show in the 1960s, I watched it, absorbed its message and laughed. Except for a brief moment of Miss Busch announcing a hackneyed "Goodbye, cruel world!" and jumping, she never acted n the least depressed. Nowadays, we're not supposed to make fun of situations like that. We're supposed to be very solemn and speak of her manic-depressive disability -- sorry, 'differently abled' , We're not supposed to feel sorry for the Boys; they've got White Male Privilege. And ice cream!
Well, I don't care. I still laugh.
