“Stan and Ollie are henpecked husbands whose wives won’t consent to their attending the annual convention of their fraternal lodge, Sons of the Desert, in Chicago. So they concoct an elaborate ruse: Stan must accompany Ollie on a cruise to Hawaii for his health—then run off to Chicago. Will the wives discover their scheme? And what will happen when they do? SONS OF THE DESERT wastes no time building a reserve of laughs and setting its story into motion. It’s prime Laurel and Hardy.” – Leonard Maltin
