Could wedding bells be breaking up Hal Roach's dynamic duo? It looks that way as a prosperous Oliver Hardy is about to marry the daughter of the even wealthier Jimmy Finlayson. Of course it's Stan Laurel who is the best man, who else?
This particular short subject revolves around one particular gag for the entire length almost. Stan gives Ollie a jigsaw puzzle as a wedding present and starts putting it together. Ollie joins him and then others from the neighborhood, the mailman, a delivery boy, a cop and finally an inpatient Finlayson who is concerned his daughter is being left at the altar.
Toward the end we see that the puzzle is that of a picture of a scantily clad, but amply endowed woman and a critical piece is missing. I guess this was going to be Stan's way for Ollie to get in the mood for the wedding night.
In the end it may not matter because Stan forget to deliver a telegram to Ollie from his broker urging him to sell sell sell his stock in International Horse Collar. The Hardy fortune may go, but as Stan quotes that popular phrase from the Hoover administration, "Prosperity is just around the corner".
