Dirty Work (1933): Cast & Plot

Professor Noodle, a brilliant but unhinged scientist, has spent more than two decades chasing a rejuvenation elixir that he claims can turn back the clock on aging. The macabre project unfolds around a bustling estate where two chimney sweeps, Stan and Ollie, are brought in to clear the grand home’s lofty chimney. As [Ollie] climbs toward the rooftop, chaos begins below when Stan, struggling to manage the tool, accidentally drives the sweeping apparatus upward. Ollie is jolted through a skylight in a flurry of wood, brick, and startled exclamations, and the scene quickly spirals into a tense, slapstick exchange that leaves both men scrambling to regain control.
