Laurel and Hardy cameo
At the start of the journey they consider taking on hitchhikers and Stan and Oliver are on the side of the road thumbing a lift (both, however, are thumbing in opposite directions until Hardy notices, slapping Laurel). Oliver is sat on some luggage and Stan is stood holding an umbrella. Charley remarks that they look like horse thieves, drives by and scratches the top of his head in the same way that Stan does in all of his films. They appear on screen for 13 seconds.
