Description
In this travesty of Romeo and Juliet, a young lady attempts to put on an amateur performance of Romeo and Juliet with her reluctant boy friend as Romeo. It has little or nothing to do with Shakespeare's play in any other sense. The casting of Oliver Hardy as a chauffeur is interesting. Typical Hal Roach comedy style of the Twenties
