- Synopsis:
A classic feature film - complete an ape! - plus two shorts continuing the 'animal' theme. In 'Swiss Miss' Stan and Ollie visit Switzerland in the hope of selling mousetraps, only to find themselves having to work in a hotel to pay off their bill. One of the most memorable scenes is that in which they are required to transport a piano across a flimsy rope bridge, where they meet an escaped gorilla! Another large ape is Ethel, the title character of 'The Chimp' while large creatures of a quite different kind appear in the Stone-Age comedy 'Flying Elephants'.
