COMMENT: Exquisitely timed, "Night Owls" is one of the team's funniest entries. In fact, it's nothing less than a slapstick riot in which Laurel and Hardy are joined by the delightfully daffy Edgar Kennedy who "convinces" the boys they should rob the chief of police so that Patrolman Kennedy can then claim credit for their arrest.
