This is an anthology issue containing multiple stories. The lead story follows Laurel and Hardy as they search for a five-dollar bill dropped inside a red sofa, leading to comedic destruction of the furniture and discovery of a laundry bill instead. A secondary story features Joe Extra, a character obsessed with movie studios, who encounters a "Super-Dooper Studio" and a camera that repeatedly rejects him with a loud "NO." The final story shows Laurel and Hardy inheriting a circus from Uncle Jonathan and becoming its new owners, meeting with the circus manager to take control of their unexpected business.
