Story Plot
A year prior to the first scene, Stan Laurel
married Oliver Hardy's
sister (played by Oliver), and Oliver married Stan's sister (played by Stan) in a double wedding.
They all live together and Stan and Ollie work in the same office. After some gags involving telephones, the wives are seen making preparations for a surprise party
to celebrate their first anniversary during which a cake lands on Mrs. Laurel's head, causing her to bear an uncanny resemblance to a portrait of Elizabeth I
on the dining room wall. Stan and Ollie then arrive but the couples cannot help but squabble throughout the party. In the final scenes, a delivery boy (played by Charlie Hall
) arrives with another cake, which is thrown in Mrs. Laurel's face by an acrimonious Mrs. Hardy.

All of the scripts that I own are original not reproductions or fakes. Some people, new to collecting, are confused about the word "Original." In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original" means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was given to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued. The older a film is you also have to figure in the fact that a lot of the original movie scripts have been thrown out or destroyed over time.
An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. For example, all finished scripts begin as a First Draft Screenplay then through time the screenplay is edited or Revised into the Final Version of the Shooting Script. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions. These revision pages are usually a different color like blue or pink and inserted into the Final Scripts that were issued to the cast and crew. Sometimes new writers are even brought in by the producers during the early stages for whatever reason to revise and make changes to the original script or come in with their own story ideas. Because of this a First Draft Screenplay can even go through multiple title changes on its way to becoming a Final Script. There is usually only one script given to each cast or crew member during
production. Some crew and cast will make changes or add notes to their script copies as well.
All these changes or revisions make original movie scripts v ery desirable because of how unique they are at various stages in the writing/editing/production process.
