4162 Code GEMI Eve's Love Letters Hal Roach
Featuring Stan Laurel and Agnes Ayres
Laurel, as a butler, finds himself aiding his employer's wife to recover some compromising letters, from the hunting lodge of Sir Oliver Hardy, before the husband learns of their existence.
At the lodge they are interrupted by the arrival of the husband. They both don identical costumes improvised from lamp shades and velvet curtains. Laurel detains the husband long enough to enable the wife to reach home first, and then follows them both.
Here follows a series of laughable scenes in which both husband and wife are suspicious of each other's actions — quick changes of costumes by both Laurel and the wife add to the amusement of the audience and mystification of the husband.

4163 Code GEMO Roughest Africa Pathe Comedy
Featuring Stan Laurel and James Finlayson Fired with the ambition to become mighty African big-game hunters and explorers, our heroes organize a safari, amply provisioned — especially with liquid stimulants — and proceed to the heart of the jungle. Do they encounter savage beasts? Indeed they do, in frequency and numbers surpassing the v/ildest imagination. The hunters become more often than not, the hunted. The chase of the Wild is reversed.
This burlesque affords a welcome relief to the flood of the African adventure pictures recently exploited.

4164 Code GEMU Prudence Hal Roach
Featuring Max Davidson
Max has three worries — two sons and a daughter, v/ho could work but don't.
A young lawyer wants to marry the daughter, Rachel, and Max promises to consent after he has won his first case. Max starts his older son in the trucking business, with disastrous results to property, and goes with Junior to find him a job. A bus, turned over by a trolley, gives Max his opportunity. He pushes Junior through an opening in the top and Junior is removed with the other "victims."
"Paralysis of the left leg" is the basis of a suit to collect $50,000 damages. The scenes where Max shows the effects of paralysis to two rent collectors— thinking them adjusters from the traction company — and in the courtroom where his prospective son-in-law is the opposing attorney are hilariously funny. The truck-driving son adds a final touch to this very amusing story.
