Their Purple Moment is a silent short subject directed by James Parrott and Fred Guiol (who was uncredited) starring comedy duo Laurel and Hardy.

Oblivious to the substitution, Stan and Ollie venture to an upscale cafe where they witness two men being ejected for failing to settle their bill, prompting their dates to depart as well.

Approaching Stan and Ollie, the women explain their predicament, leading the duo to offer payment for the bill and subsequent expenses, treating them to a lavish night out.

Their evening takes an unexpected turn when a meddlesome observer witnesses their interaction with the women and notifies their wives.

"[citation needed] There was an alternate ending filmed where Stan and Ollie disguise themselves as "little people" and try to escape from the club on their hands and knees.
