A CHUMP AT OXFORD-1939-Stan & Ollie (Laurel & Hardy of course!) fake their way into becoming butler and maid for a wealthy couple (Stan is the maid). After being fired (Stan gets drunk and serves the salad dressed only in his underwear) they get jobs as street sweepers. When they accidentally capture a bank robber (Rex Lease) (because of Stan's discarded banana peel) the bank president sends them to Oxford to get an education. After the students (one is Peter Cushing) play several pranks on the duo, Stan gets hit on the head and becomes Lord Paddington, an ear wiggling pompous powerhouse with an English accent.
Australian born Alfred J. Goulding directed Harold Lloyd comedies in the 1920's and later worked on the ill fated last project by Laurel & Hardy, UTOPIA.
