The Finishing Touch

In this 1928 short comedy silent film, Stan and Ollie are contracted to build a house in just one day, but their efforts are thwarted by a series of mishaps, exacerbated by the interference of a nearby hospital's head nurse who enlists a policeman to enforce noise regulations. Despite completing the house on time, the homeowner demands the return of the $500 bonus after a minor incident involving a bird leads to the chimney's collapse, compromising the structural integrity of the entire dwelling. Stan and Ollie engage in resourceful tactics to retain the disputed funds, showcasing their signature blend of physical comedy and witty banter.
