☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains a main Laurel and Hardy story in which the duo encounters a woman at the beach whose sister has splinters in her hand from swimming lessons; Laurel and Hardy attempt to help remove them but create chaos with a garden hose, ruining the woman's hair and dress in the process. The story also features a subplot involving a children's game of tag football on the beach, where the boys devise a strategy using "Dubble Bubble" gum to improve their performance. Additionally, the issue includes a separate story about cavemen named Smart Aleck and another character hunting triceraptors in Roodee Valley, where Smart Aleck uses his head to fashion a bow and arrow for hunting.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy take the plunge into the restaurant business when they buy a struggling café, convinced they'll turn it around with Stan's cooking and Oliver's service. What follows is a comedic disaster as their culinary incompetence drives away customer after customer—from beans that provoke flying plates to chicken that still has its feathers—until a cleaning fluid accident leaves the place in ruins. Just when all seems lost, an insurance payout arrives to save the day, though not quite in the way Stan and Oliver had hoped.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are struggling cave dwellers in prehistoric times, dealing with a leaky roof and an upcoming rent payment in ivory tusks when they set out to hunt for triceratoes in a dangerous valley. Their expedition goes awry when they encounter a fearsome prehistoric creature—and the hunt quickly becomes a fight for survival as the monster separates the pair, leaving Oliver to decide whether to help his panicked friend or save himself.
