The Money Box
editOur Relations (1936), a Laurel and Hardy feature film, carries the credit "suggested by the short story "The Money Box" by W W Jacobs". The basic situation taken from the story, is of two sailors entrusting their wages to another in port and the cross and double cross that follows. The two sailors in the film are named Bert and Alf, played by Laurel and Hardy. The film adds the Comedy of Errors plot device of the sailors getting mixed up and mistaken for their long lost brothers, namely Laurel and Hardy.
