SYNOPSIS:More rare silents on DVD capturing Laurel and Hardy at their physical best. In Early to Bed, the Boys are totally out of character, as Ollie inherits a fortune and Stanley becomes his butler; in Double Whoopee, they're in perfect form, ripping the dress off teenager Jean Harlow (it's all harmless fun, of course); in Sugar Daddies, an early teaming, they wind up in a historic Long Beach Fun House to get out of a jam; and in Angora Love, their last silent, a goat follows Stanley home with disastrous results. The volume features two more early Laurel solo efforts. In Oranges and Lemons, for instance, he's still in search of a persona, borrowing a little from Chaplin in destroying an orange processing plant. --Bill Desowitz
Sugar Daddies
Rich oil tycoon (Finlayson) awakens one morning, after a night of carousing, to be told that he was married the night before. His lawyer (Laurel) is called in to straighten things out when a blackmail attempt is made. Wild chases through a dance hall and amusement park ensue.
Double Whoopee
Stanley and Oliver, in their new jobs as footman and doorman at a ritzy hotel, wreak their usual havoc on the guests, including partially undressing a swanky blonde guest and repeatedly escorting a haughty Prussian nobleman into an empty elevator shaft.
Angora Love
Stanley and Oliver are adopted by a runaway goat, whose noise and aroma in turn get the goat of their suspicious landlord. Attempts to bathe the smelly animal result in a waterlogged free-for-all.
Early to Bed
Oliver inherits a fortune and hires Stan as his butler and proceeds to torment him. Stan finally rebels and goes on a rampage, destroying Oliver's fancy furnishings.
Oranges and Lemons
After getting into a scuffle with his boss and some co-workers, an orange packer tries to help another co-worker, only to wind up in a conflict with him as well. Trying to elude his boss, he heads inside the packing house, and visits with the women who are packing fruit into cases. Then he heads to a storage area, and tries to use the machinery to escape his pursuers.
Roughest Africa
Two African Explorers, Stanislaus Laurello and Hans Downe, travel round Africa, from Los Angeles to Hollywood, trying to capture and photograph animals, but have more encounters than they had hoped for. Some animals encountered are bears, emu's, an elephant and a family of lions.
