Hawkins & Watkins Inc. (1932)

Beatrice De Vere (Daphne Pollard), a wealthy eccentric, owns a fabulous diamond that is coveted by others. Thusly begins a slapstick farce that involves two dumb New York cops, with cockney accents, a menacing butler who also tells fortunes, and a gorilla who drives a motorcycle and pilots an airplane.
