SYNOPSES for FUNNY GUYS 10 MOVIE PACK:
"The Best Of W.C. Fields" - These three shorts are W.C. Fields' earliest sound films.

"The Fatal Glass of Beer" features Yukon footage, a night "not fit for man nor beast," and a narrative song by Fields that's rendered while he strums a dulcimer.
"Check And Double Check" - Radio's Amos 'n' Andy in their one and only film appearance. After driving Duke Ellington's band to a society gig, the boys must retrieve an important paper from a creepy old deserted mansion. (Scripted by famous songwriters Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby.)
