Interesting aside, an educational short guest-starring Laurel and Hardy and narrated by fellow comedian Pete Smith. Decent but not essential. I found it both as a bonus on an excellent Laurel and Hardy 10-disc boxed set as well as a bargain-basement 5-disc set of questionable value and aesthetic integrity.
