This film is a compilation, with narration by Steve Allen, of comedies from the old Mack Sennett silent studio. Sennett, himself, appears in a cameo at the end of the film.
Franklin Pangborn , holding two reels of film in cans, tells Steve Allen that the reels are frightfully heavy, and hands them to Allen. But from the way Allen takes them in one hand, the cans are clearly empty.
