505 - The Lucky Dog, United States, 1921.  Dir. Jess Robbins.

Stan Laurel is a poor man being evicted by his landlady, kicked out on the streets.

A dog befriends him.  And he cannot get rid of it.  Because it is 1921, the film is replete with sight gags and physical comedy.

The poor man runs into the bandit, Oliver Hardy, who is in the process of holding up another man.

Hardy drops the money into Laurel's pocket.
Then he robs him.  And receives back the money he has already stolen.

Laurel winds up meeting a woman with a poodle and enters a dog show.

What happens next?

Tune in next time to find out.
