This silent Laurel and Hardy short is chiefly memorable for being the one in which young Jean Harlow loses her dress after Stan traps its hem in the door of the cab from which she has just emerged. Other than that moment there isn't much of any note in this film. Stan and Ollie play temporary doormen, sent to work at a posh hotel, who are initially mistaken for a Prussian prince and his prime minister.
The boys create the usual mayhem; Ollie, with the curiosity typical of a small child, blows his the whistle on his uniform to see what happens and is berated by the cabbie who turns up to find a non-existent fare. Later, Stan does the same thing which is the cue for a tit-for-tat battle between the cabbie and the boys. It's an entertaining enough film, but definitely not one of the boy's best.
