The Dancing Masters is a 1943 black and white American comedy film directed by Malcolm St. Clair, produced by 20th Century-Fox, and featuring Laurel and Hardy.

Concurrently, the narrative unfolds around Grant Lawrence, a young inventor working on a revolutionary invisible ray device designed for jungle warfare during World War II.

The following day, the pair faces impending eviction from their dancing school due to unpaid rent, prompting them to devise a plan to secure funds.

Complications ensue as Laurel suggests utilizing Hardy's savings to settle the debt, leading to a series of misadventures culminating in the accidental destruction of a prized antique clock.

As a consequence, The Dancing Masters, designated as the final B-picture on the schedule, underwent substantial editing, resulting in a notably abbreviated runtime of 63 minutes.
