The simple task of preparing and delivering chickens becomes a fiasco only this pair could conjure up. The episode stars Stan Laurel as Stan, Oliver Hardy as Ollie, with James Finlayson lending his talents as the perpetually flustered Mr. Slater. A host of other characters adds to the mayhem, bringing laughter aplenty. Following the laughter, we'll simmer down with "Coffee and Cake" by Colgate's Theater of Romance, which originally graced the airwaves on April 16th, 1955.
