About Another Fine Mess (1930)
Another Fine Mess is a 1930 short comedy film directed by James Parrott and starring Laurel and Hardy. It is based on the 1908 play Home from the Honeymoon by Arthur J. Jefferson, Stan Laurel's father, and is a remake of their 1927 silent film (and debut as an "official" duo) Duck Soup.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy find themselves pursued by a tenacious police officer, initially misidentified as vagrants loitering in a park. A comical altercation ensues when Stan inadvertently provokes the officer by addressing him as "ma'am," further escalating the situation. Seeking refuge from their pursuer, the duo takes shelter in the basement of a mansion belonging to the eccentric English adventurer Colonel Wilburforce Buckshot, currently vacant due to Buckshot's African hunting expedition.
