Stan and Ollie are on holiday in Paris when Ollie falls in love with the beautiful daughter of an innkeeper. On discovering she is already married Ollie decides that the only way to get over the disappointment is to join the Foreign Legion - dragging poor old Stan along for company. The boys wreak havoc at the training camp and are arrested for desertion before escaping in a stolen airplane where they take a ride they will never forget! The Flying Deuces is unique as it was made in 1939 as an independent picture unlike most Laurel & Hardy movies that were made under the guidance of Hal Roach. It is classic laugh a minute entertainment and is renowned by fans the world over as being one of their finest pieces.
After falling victim to a highway robbery Stanlio and Ollio decide to pose as outlaws themselves with Ollio pretending to be the most feared bandit in the land Fra Diavolo. Unfortunately he happens to be the boys first intended victim and easily outwits them and tells Stanlio to hang Ollio as punishment. He eventually relents and takes the pair on as servants and takes them with him to the Tavern de Cucu where posing as the Marquis de San Marco he woos Lord Rocburg's beautiful daughter Lady Pamela. Whilst Fra Diavolo plans to rob Lord Rocburg the boys have their own plan to hand the bandit over to the authorities and claim a reward but their usual incompetence sees them standing alongside him facing a firing squad.
Stan and Ollie join the Foreign Legion to escape unrequited love.
