Sugar Daddies (1927)

This early teaming (1927) features James Finlayson and has Hardy as his butler and Laurel as his lawyer. Millionaire Finn has unwisely married a gold digger and her family pursue him with the offer of liberty at a price: $50,000. Compare the execution of the end gag here where Finn is hiding beneath Stan’s voluminous coat with the same gag used 4 years later in Chicken’s Come Home
