Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are seen in clips from films made before they became a team, Hardy in two films starring Billy West, an imitator of Chaplin, and Laurel as a brash ladykiller in Charlie Chase's Just Rambling Along (1918). The two actors appeared together in Flying Elephants and Sugar Daddies in 1927, but it was not until they made Do Detectives Think? (1927) that their famous comedy style began to emerge. Clips from the following films are included: The Second Hundred Years (1927), You're Darn Tootin' (1928), Habeas Corpus (1928), That's My Wife (1929), Angora Love (1929), Should Married Men Go Home (1928), and Early to Bed (1928). To further illustrate the comedy technique used by the Hal Roach Studios, the compilation also includes Charlie Chase's classic The Way of All Pants (1927). Other performers seen in the excerpts include Jean Harlow, Jimmy Finlayson, Snub Pollard, Bryant Washburn, Charlie Hall, Tom Kennedy, Noah Young, Charlotte Mineau, Tom Dugan, Charles Rogers, and The Original Flappers.
