After Laurel and Hardy blow up Jimmy Finlayson's circus, the troupe is paid off with parts of the show. Stan gets the flea circus and Ollie gets Ethel the gorilla, played of course by Charlie Gemora. The lion follows them. For the night they take a room in Billy Gilbert's hotel; Gilbert, of course, objects to having a gorilla in his hotel, but has no trouble with the Boys. At first.
It's the third time Laurel and Hardy made a short about staying in a hotel with an animal; the earlier versions are ANGORA LOVE (with a goat) and LAUGHING GRAVY (a dog). This elaborate three-reel comedy spends most of its length dealing with the circus and getting into the hotel. Although some of the gags are repeated, there's plenty of new stuff to keep people laughing.
