Three classic comic shorts from Laurel and Hardy. In “Wrong again” (20 mins. 1929), a comedy with a surrealistic edge, stable-hands Stan and Ollie respond to a millionaire’s offer of a reward for ‘Blue Boy’, a missing painting, by delivering ‘Blue Boy’ a horse. They find an instruction to leave ‘Blue Boy’ on the piano. In “Angora love” (20 mins. 1929), Stan and Ollie are adopted by a runaway goat. In “Do detectives think” (20 mins. 1927), the boys play inept detectives hired to guard a judge who is the target of an escaped convict.
