Horne, the film showcases the comedic talents of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as they find themselves entangled in a series of mishaps while attempting to conduct business.

The plot of "Big Business" revolves around Laurel and Hardy's characters, who play door-to-door Christmas tree salesmen in California.

What begins as a simple sales transaction soon spirals into a full-blown battle of wits, resulting in a hilariously destructive climax that leaves both the homeowner's property and Laurel and Hardy themselves in shambles.
