Summary:
By the 1920's, the mental and physical energy of hundreds of bright young men, women, children and chimpanzees was being focused on slapstick, and an avalanche of nonsense flowed out to theaters every week. This film focuses on six particularly madcap entries in the slapstick canon, produced at the smaller independent "fun factories," starring several master comedians who have yet to be awarded proper recognition.
