Пародия-Шутка. На сцену выходит актер Картер Де Хейвен (играл у Чаплина в «Великом диктаторе») и начинает перевоплощаться в известных актеров тех лет. Бастер Китон, Гарольд Ллойд, Роско «Толстяк» Арбакл, Рудольф Валентино, Дуглас Фаэрбенкс... Все очень разные, но невероятно похоже. Невероятно. Пока не появляется 13-летний Джеки Куган из фильма Чарли Чаплина «Малыш». На самом деле все актёры играют самих себя. Макса Линдера уже нет в живых, а Чарли Чаплин, по неизветной причине, не участвует... «Пародия» на Великих комиков эры немого кино... Сейчас скорее забытых для большой публики.

The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) caused a great impression on the lives of most of the American artists of that era, so many movies were made in Hollywood about it.
