You have a pretty good idea early on that the laws of gravity will be having their way with Ollie. On the roof cleaning a chimney? You bet.
After a number of falls Ollie does a big one landing on a glass greenhouse and lies on his back with rubble covering his body. It is shot from Stan's point of view on the roof. Rather than be angry and admonishing Stan for causing his fall, Ollie looks up from the rubble and calmly asks Stan "Would you mind going to the front door and letting me in?" This is the kind of character driven comedy you just do not see anymore. No one has been able to even equal them. They really were the inventors of situation comedy.
This is one of their best. Treat yourself to the originators of screen comedy.
