Oliver Hardy for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, “Pardon Us;” a complete pris- , on was built at the studios. Director Janies Parrott' secured the services of his fellow director George Hill, who made the famous M-G-M prison drama, ,“The Big House, ’ for technical details pand also police authorities gave their assistance. Laurel and Hardy decide to make big..money by starting an illicit still —but sell the first , bottle of their mixture to a policeman. They are given, a few years to change their minds about liquor by. the police fnagistrate, who packs them off to prison.
