some of my favorite laurel and hardy film have very and very little plot . instead and they give them a rather mundane situation and just let them be hilarious . film such a help mate and busy body be among the funny a you see the boy work or clean house . here in dirty work and most of the film be akin to these other two film stan and ollie be chimney sweep and spend most of the film try ( quite unsuccessfully ) to clean a crazy professor chimney . see ollie fall through the chimney and the boy make the house a total mess and the insane behavior of stanley all work together to make a very pleasing film . however and in an odd twist and there be also a really weird subplot that begin and end the movie . it seem that the professor be truly a mad scientist and he be work on a formula to make thing young . late in the film and you see him make a duck into a duckling and even a duckling into an egg . give that he then leave the boy alone in the room and be it any surprise what happen next . while this subplot be unnecessary and it work well enough . what work exceptionally well be the middle portion . give the boy nothing excite to do and you will be amaze at the hilarious result . one of the team well film and it almost earn a 9 .
