Slipping Wives

Slipping Wives is a 1927 American silent short comedy film starring Priscilla Dean with Stan Laurel, and Oliver Hardy prior to their official billing as the duo Laurel and Hardy.

However Leon has not been showing much interest in his wife, so she hatches a plot to win back his affections.

Priscilla employs Stan to "make love to her" and ensure Leon becomes jealous.

Ollie has to wash and dress Stan and make him look presentable enough to fool Leon at a dinner party that night.

Slipping Wives was later reworked into the team's penultimate short film The Fixer Uppers, made in 1935.
