When Stan and Ollie return from the trenches of The First World War without their army buddy Eddie Smith, they determine to take his daughter from her just-in-it-for-the-money foster parents and deliver her to her grandparents – trouble is they haven’t got the address, and so they begin to systematically (not to mention chaotically) go through every Smith in the phone book, in this hilarious, plot-packed, episodic Laurel and Hardy film.
