The Devil's Brother (or Bogus Bandits as an Astor Pictures reissue title) or Fra Diavolo outside the U.S. is a 1933 American Pre-Code comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy.

In the early 18th century, the notorious bandit Fra Diavolo regales his compatriots at their encampment in Northern Italy with an account of his recent encounter with the aristocratic couple Lord Rocburg and Lady Pamela.

Assuming the guise of the Marquis de San Marco, Diavolo ingratiates himself with the duo during a carriage ride, coaxing Lady Pamela to divulge the whereabouts of her coveted jewels.

Undeterred, Diavolo, once again assuming the identity of the marquis, enlists Stanlio and Ollio as his attendants, plotting to seize Rocburg's wealth at an inn where he resumes his amorous pursuit of Lady Pamela.

Subsequently, amidst the ensuing chaos, Diavolo seizes the opportunity to evade capture by galloping away on a horse, while Stanlio and Ollio, propelled by serendipity, effect their own improbable escape by clinging on the back of the enraged bull as it charges off into the countryside.
