Their First Mistake

Directed by George Marshall, the film was produced by Hal Roach and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Unfortunately, his wife has left their apartment on returning, and a process server delivers a paper informing Ollie that she is suing him for divorce, naming Stan as co-respondent.

Sleepily shoving a baby bottle at the infant, Ollie discovers Stan sucking on the nipple instead and having a wonderful time.

In the original script, Mrs. Hardy came back to Oliver with adopted baby twins, but so much time and money had been spent on adding Laurel's improvisations that there was no budget left to film it.
