Our Wife is a 1931 American pre-Code Hal Roach comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy. It was directed by James W. Horne and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[1]
Oliver's plans to marry his sweetheart, Dulcy, with Stan as his best man, face a series of obstacles.
Dulcy's father opposes the union upon seeing a photograph of Ollie, leading to the cancellation of the wedding arrangements. Additionally, Stan accidentally ruins the wedding cake by spraying it with fly spray.
Later, Ollie mistakenly ingests the insecticide, believing it to be throat medicine, resulting in him seeking relief by applying ice cubes, only to comically slip and fall on the ice.
Despite these mishaps, the couple decides to elope and arranges to meet a Justice of the Peace clandestinely. However, their elopement is marked by further comedic misadventures. They struggle to fit into a small car rented by Stan for the occasion, as Ollie had anticipated a larger vehicle.
Eventually, they manage to squeeze into the car along with a suitcase, causing the vehicle to tilt under their weight, resulting in Stan's head protruding through the roof.
The situation culminates with a cross-eyed justice officiates a marriage ceremony, uniting Ollie and Stan in matrimony.
