Great fun to watch some fine Laurel and Hardy set-pieces, wrecking an elite dinner party, foiling a bank robbery, being run over the coals twice during university initiation and finally Stan overcoming amnesia to discover he was once a prized Oxford great. Weirdly tied together, but it still works for me.
A Chump at Oxford (1940)
Figuring out a grand time for you!
The boys get jobs as a butler and maid-- Stan in drag-- for a dinner party. When that ends in disaster, they resort to sweeping streets and accidentally capture a bank robber. The grateful bank president sends them to Oxford, at their request, and higher-education hijinks ensue.
