Un remède infaillible

Laurel has been accused of being unfunny before he teamed up with Oliver Hardy, but I think that this film is proof that that is not the case. Laurel is different than his later character but his adventures as a door to door salesman or his attempts to be one is rather funny.

He'll do anything to make a sale of his bottled cure-all. He may not be quite as subtle as in later years but it's a joy to watch.
