On the day of Ollie's wedding, Stan brings a jigsaw puzzle that everyone wants to put together... In "Love Business" (1931), Jackie Cooper and Chubby Chaney both have a crush on their teacher, Miss Crabtree. Stan considered "Putting Pants on Philip" (1927) to be the first film where Laurel and Hardy were officially a team. Our own very talented Russ Peck provides the music for this tale of Ollie trying to get his Scottish kilt-wearing nephew Stan to wear pants. In "Swiss Miss" (1938), the boys work for a tyrannic chef at a hotel in Switzerland, where a composer is working on his latest creation.
