An enjoyable oddity by Laurel and Hardy, in a Hal Roach experiment, in which entire versions of films were shot in other languages, with the stars learning their lines phonetically, to take advantage of foreign markets, before dubbing became the standard (and cheaper) way of doing things. From 'Laurel and Hardy: The Essential Collection: The Sound Films from the Hal Roach Studios'.
