In da Laurel and Hardy film, "Way Out West", da spineless Stan encounters a major obstickle in his efforts to hold onto the deed, thanks to hotel-singer Lola Marcel-Finn's nimble fingers; he ends up minus the deed and giggling helplessly throughout the rest of the scene. Fortunately, he manages to steer clear of Lola during his and Ollie's subsequent late-night raid of the hotel, and so they are indeed able to get back the purloined deed, after all.
