How it feels

Laurel and Hardy are two friends who try to get a better price from a loan shark only to accidentally destroy his furniture. Their attempts to pay him back lead to a series of slapstick mishaps involving a car, a butcher, and a wife.

What happens

Thicker than Water is a short film starring Laurel and Hardy, directed by James W. Horne, produced by Hal Roach, and released in 1935 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The short also features James Finlayson and Daphne Pollard in supporting roles. It was the last two-reel comedy starring the comedy team, as Hal Roach decided to end Laurel and Hardy short films and move them solely into feature films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
