Summary:
Big business: Classic tale of door-to-door Christmas tree salesmen. Do detectives think? Hilarious happenings with dumb dicks on the loose. Call of the cuckoo: Hoping to escape "cuckoo" neighbors, Papa Gimpelwart buys a new house, but the old neighbors show up at the housewarming. Finishing touch: Laurel and Hardy build a house which collapses under the weight of a bird. On the front page: Early comedy shows developing character of "Stan." Hustling for health: Extremely rare Hal Roach comedy shows Stan's earliest work.
