Viewing Notes

Laurel, a gardener, gets waylaid by an escaped convict, who swaps clothes with him, resulting in Laurel getting thrown in jail in his place. Hijinks ensue including Laurel getting caught up in an escape attempt. There’s a great scene involving the gallows and an extraordinarily stretched neck which is pretty fun.
