look at the early days of the comedy feud between legendary comedian, actor, and juggler W.C. Fields and the up-and-coming young ventriloquist's dummy, Charlie McCarthy (attached to Edgar Bergen.)

We start out with the first verbal barbs between Fields and McCarthy on May 1, 1937 and then on June 27, 1937, Fields has to talk his way out of a $12 million defamation lawsuit by Charlie McCarthy in response to Fields' barbs in the previous seven weeks.

Don Ameche also appears.
