Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Chump at Oxford is a 1940 film directed by Alfred J. Goulding, starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.The movie is actually a two-reeler and a four-reeler put together to make a feature. The first part has Stan and Ollie, down and out, looking for work. They get hired for an evening as butler and maid, which requires Stan to put on a dress and wig. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong.Part II, twice as long as Part I, finds our heroes working as street sweepers, when they accidentally foil a bank robbery, which earns them a reward. Stan and Ollie feel like their lack of education has held them back, so they're offered a chance at an education. At Oxford. They're mercilessly teased by the snobby Oxford students, before they discover a surprise about Stan's past.Peter Cushing made his film debut as one of the Oxford students who pull pranks on Stan and Ollie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Accidental Hero: A bank robber comes running out of a bank, and slips and falls on Stan's Banana Peel. Stan and Ollie are hailed as heroes. Downplayed in that the boys do take quick action to grab the robber before he can recover from his fall, holding him there and keeping him away from his gun until the police arrive.

Disguised in Drag: Stan wears a dress and a silly wig in order to pretend to be a maid.

Explosive Cigar: One of the student pranksters gives Ollie a cigar, which Ollie happily puffs until it explodes.
