Cockeyed Cavaliers has Wheeler and Woolsey as a Restoration period kleptomaniac and his good friend. Wheeler and his taking ways land Bert and
Bob in the village stocks in a very funny sequence. Rescuing them is their
perennial leading lady Dorothy Lee who has been contracted to become a lady
in waiting for Duke Robert Grieg's duchess Thelma Todd with the idea is that the
Duke will take his pleasures.
Lee rescues the guys while she is fleeing in male drag. But they wind up back at Grieg's court with Bert and Bob pretending to be visiting royal physicians with their apprentice. Bert finds out Lee is a girl and Bob expresses some nasty thoughts to the duchess.
It's all climaxed with wild wild boar hunt. Very funny stuff although Woolsey plays the whole film without his ever present cigar which hadn't been invented yet.
