Mousetrasp salesmen Laurel & Hardy move to Switzerland with the belief that as their is more cheese there, there's bound to be more mice. However, they get conned out of their traps and end up working in a hotel to pay off a debt.
This is one of the operettas that L&H did and also the poorest. The film flags alarmingly when Stan and Ollie are not on the screen, which is far too often. Even when they do appear, some of their routines look a little forced and tired, the exceelent scene with Stan trying to coax some brandy oput of a St Bernarnard notwithstanding. Considering the film before this was the timeless classic Way Out West this is quite a drop in quality. Not bad, but this where it all started to go downhill.
