James Finlayson makes one of his many appearances in this Laurel and Hardy short.
An early pre teaming of Stan and Ollie in which they share alot of screen time with Ollie being a bully and Stan an effete simpleton. Originally there was a gag in which James Finlayson walks up and down the aisle of a sleeping car full, of soldiers whose stocking feet causes him to faint. Another gag had Stan pacing up and down in front of an out house finally he pounds on a door which is opened by a quarter master revealing it to be a store room and Stan wants to return a mop and bucket. Both sequences were cut.
