Scram!

Revealing mistake: When Oliver is holding the drunk, he says "We'll have it in just a jiffy." Arthur Housman (The Drunk) then repeats the line, and you can see Oliver Hardy mouthing the line as well.

Plot hole: When Oliver attempts to lift the drain grille in order to get the drunk's car key, he claims it is too heavy. Yet when Stan gets his umbrella stuck down there, Oliver manages to lift the grille without any effort.
