"Busy Bodies" is a 1933 short comedy film starring Laurel and Hardy. A series of gags set in a sawmill, it is often regarded as one of their best sound shorts despite there being virtually no plot.

Stan and Oliie arrive in high spirits for their new jobs at the sawmill and after walking into planks of wood Stan traps Ollie's hands in a window frame. After freeing him they trick Charlie Hall into smoking despite a "No Smoking" sign. Stan then tears a strip off Ollie's pants with a plane and in the resulting 'tit for tat' dips a paintbrush in glue and sticks it onto Ollie's chin. Finding it is not possible to pull it off he prepares like a barber and shaves it with a plane. Ollie then gets propelled through a ventilator duct and out of an attic vent port and their car gets sawed in two lengthwise by a large band saw.
