Some of the classic early silent films made by Laurel and Hardy are collected on this second volume of works from the early 20th century. The set starts with "The Hobo" (1917), which sees Hardy getting into a fight over a girl with a Charlie Chaplin lookalike. Next up is some riotous slapstick courtesy of "The Show" (1922), with the dynamic duo getting into all kinds of trouble among the backstage props of a theatrical production. "The Soilers" (1923) is set among the goldrush, while "White Wings" (1923) features Stan going through a variety of occupations, with disastrous results! "Should Sailors Marry?" (1925) offers a starring role for Hardy as a doctor, while, finally, "Thundering Fleas" (1926) sees a group of fleas let loose at a wedding.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy weren't always a team. They started separately in silent films (Hardy in 1913, Laurel in 1917) and didn't become the hapless duo we know today until 1927. Prior to that, however, they frequently crossed paths, with Laurel occasionally directing one of Hardy's solo efforts. This collection begins with a very early Hardy short called "The Paperhanger's Helper" (1915), a comedy that needs no description beyond the title itself. The first coincidental sharing of the screen by both Laurel and Hardy in "Lucky Dog" (1917), a gem long believed lost, depicts leading comedian Laurel as a stray dog's friend and Hardy in a supporting role as a villainous mugger holding Stan up with a pistol. In "The Sawmill" (1921), Hardy plays an evil foreman gradually dismantling the workplace as he battles it out with heroic employee Larry Semon. "Hop to It, Bellhop" (1922) features Hardy as a riotous hotel luggage smasher, and in "Kid Speed" (1924), Hardy competes with Larry Semon for a damsel's attentions. Stan Laurel directs his future partner in both "Yes, Yes, Nanette" (1926) and "Enough To Do" (1926).

THE BIG NOISE: Laurel and Hardy play janitors at a detective agency who pretend to be actual investigators and manage to keep a new bomb out of enemy hands and even sinking a Japanese submarine! GREAT GUNS: Laurel and Hardy get hired to look after a millionaire's pampered son, and when he gets drafted for the war effort, they decide to enlist themselves. JITTERBUGS: In one of the best of the later Laurel and Hardy movies, Ollie and Stan play con men selling "gasoline pills" during the oil-shortage days of WWII. However, when they meet a small-town girl whose mother has been bilked of her savings by real-estate swindlers, they don disguises (Hardy as Southern colonel Wattison Bixby and Laurel in drag as Aunt Emily) to bust up the gangster ring.
