A collection of classic Laurel & Hardy shorts based around the theme of Blackmail - actual or implied! In Chickens Come Home, Ollie is a candidate for Mayor whose campaign is endangered by the reappearance of a girl from his past. Alongside is its feature-length Spanish equivalent, Politiquerias, with L&H speaking their own foreign dialogue, plus the early silent short, Love 'Em and Weep, on which it was based. Another early silent, Sugar Daddies, provides a variant on the idea (plus the same climactic gag!), while in the sound short Come Clean, regular foil Mae Busch is once again demanding money from Stan and Ollie. In the classic silent Early to Bed, Ollie has money to spare - and Stan learns the power of blackmail!
