Thicker Than Water (1935)

In the whirlwind of confusion and domestic chaos that is Thicker Than Water (1935), Stan and Ollie find themselves caught in a seemingly ceaseless cycle of dishwashing and complicated explanations. Trying to justify the missing furniture installment payment to the formidable Mrs. Hardy becomes their first hurdle, after Oliver's hard-earned cash ends up in Stanley's pocket to cover his room and board expenses. In an attempt to soothe the household uproar, they hatch a plan. Stanley persuades Oliver to withdraw their life savings from the bank, intending to settle the furniture dispute once and for all. However, fate has a wicked sense of humour. With the bulging wallet now in their possession, the duo unwittingly finds themselves the proud but befuddled owners of a grand, ornate grandfather clock, purchased at an auction. This unexpected acquisition only serves to fuel Mrs. Hardy's wrath, and the clock, much like their plans, gets shattered during their chaotic journey home. The ensuing outrage from Mrs. Hardy lands Oliver in the hospital, in dire need of a blood transfusion. With Stanley as the unlikely donor, what follows is a series of bewildering results, leaving one to question: Is modern medicine prepared for the unexpected consequences of this unconventional remedy? Thicker Than Water is a comedic whirlpool where simple plans spiral into outrageous misadventures, and domestic trivialities escalate to hilarious chaos, leaving the audience wondering what could possibly be next for our hapless heroes.
