Storyline:Their slapstick brand of comedy straddled he silent and talkie eras.It was entirely neglected for Academy Awards in its year of eligibility.The clueless, incompetent pair portrayed bumbling, innocent, derby-hatted fools in a hostile world: the thin, easy-going, but forever-victimized and dim-witted Stan, known for scratching his head with a bewildered look, whimpering, and speaking with a slight British accent; and the fat, wide-babyfaced, tie-fiddling Ollie, continually exasperated with his partner.Poisonous gas vials or capsules (with skull and cross-bones labels) were being applied to research test subjects in tubes - spiders.He raised his arms in a victory pose at the completiion of his brisk run.In the next contrasting scene, Apollo Creed was in his mansion contemplating his upcoming match - Creed crumpled up a newspaper photo and clipping of Rocky.While doing his homework and after perusing his father""s papers, Peter decided to visit Dr.Connors at his private home.He was turned away until he identified himself as Richard Parker""s son.Connors spoke of his work with Peter""s father to change the lives of millions through Cross Species Genetics - by the breeding of spiders.
