To Pete Smith's voice over commentary, Stan and Ollie-seemingly picked at random in the street, and professing to not have any wood in their possession at the time, produce various props - the contents of a suitcase and their wallets - all manufactured from wood, or containing wood byproducts such as cellulose.
