Stan and Ollie play door-to-door Christmas tree salesmen in California. They end up getting into an escalating feud with grumpy would-be customer James Finlayson, with his home and their car being destroyed in the melee.
A silent short built almost entirely on one idea: two polite men and an angry homeowner escalate step by step. The pace is tight, each gesture is allowed to land and is then answered in kind until everything spins out of control. The appeal lies in the tit-for-tat, where both sides repay every insult patiently and thoroughly.
Good for you if you like silent-era slapstick and enjoy short, compact orgies of destruction.
