LAUREL AND HARDY: Jitterbugs
JITTERBUGS (aka:)
"Tagline: This is that movie about those people. "

-- Synopsis: Laurel and Hardy portray inept drifters and traveling around calling themselves " The Two-man Laurel and Hardy Zoot Suit Band" and find themselves fronting a scam for " gasolene pills" that change water into gasolene in wartime oil-short America. Some dancing thru-out the film.

* Not alot of dancing in this film but the Jivin' Jacks and Jills do some average Jitterbug dancing in the East Coast swing style.
