Beginning with the full programme of 'This is Your Life' which was broadcast live in December 1954. We then visit Stan and Ollie at the studio for their only other appearance in a Western other than 'Way Out West' in a rare and seldom seen sketch. This is followed by the only colour film of the two great stars 'Tree in a Test Tube' and then on to a Hollywood party which they gatecrash and get up to all sorts of hi-jinx. These sketches are shown together with rare footage of their 1932 UK tour along with interviews and the duo's last film appearance together.
