The Lucky Dog (1921) - Directed by Jess Robbins - Full Movie

In their first screen appearance together, Stan plays a penniless dog lover and Oliver plays a crook who tries to rob him and his new paramour.

The Lucky Dog (1921) was the first film to include Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy together in a film: prior to them becoming the famous comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy. Although they appear in scenes together, they play independently of each other. Stan is the star of the film and Ollie is only in a side role. The film was shot as two reels, but some versions end abruptly after the first reel where Stan is robbed by Ollie.
