One major defect. The lab printed this off center, so on the right 10% of the film there is white and no picture (see pictures). Sometimes this clips the titles just a bit. Very good contrast & excellent booming sound. Pretty sharp image. No splices. No vinegar small. Full 400' reel. Blackhawk box but not the original box. Cleaned with Vitafilm
I have several Super 8mm sound Laurel & Hardy shorts on eBay right now and will
COMBINE SHIPPING to save you money if you buy more than one.
PLOT:
Laurel and Hardy play two sailors on shore leave who decide to rent an automobile. With Laurel at the wheel, he nearly crashes the car into a pedestrian at a street corner. Hardy apologizes for Stan's poor driving, takes the wheel, and shortly thereafter crashes the car into a lamppost. Chagrined, Hardy drives off and parks in front of a drugstore where two young ladies are having difficulty with a street-side vending machine that has taken their penny without giving them a gumball. Hardy tries to shake a gumball from the dispenser but only ends up breaking the glass container, scattering gumballs all over the sidewalk.
Seeing this, the angry proprietor confronts Hardy with Stan joining in, constantly slipping on the scattered gumballs. The girls come to their rescue and rough up the proprietor, accidentally breaking another gumball machine in the process. This action leads to a chain reaction of numerous drivers and passengers battling one another and deliberately damaging their automobiles. Eventually a motorcycle policeman arrives and is told that Stan and Oliver were the instigators of the fracas.
Note: Pictures are of actual film being projected onto a screen, so not too sharp.
