In The Finishing Touch, Stan and Ollie are hired to build a house - and, of course, it all goes spectacularly wrong. In Get Out and Get Under, Harold Lloyd is in a hurry to get to the theatre to meet his sweetheart, but his misbehaving car causes chaos. And in The Balloonatic, Buster Keaton finds himself accidentally floating away in a hot-air balloon.
