Now I'll Tell One is a 1927 silent film starring Charley Chase. The film features Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, prior to their official billing as the duo Laurel and Hardy. Both comedians had bit parts and share no scenes together.[1]

The first half of the film is considered lost; only the latter half survives.[1]

Plot

A husband (Chase) is being divorced by his wife (Edna Marion). She recounts his cruelty, abuse, and drunkenness before a judge (Will Walling) at court. His lawyer (Laurel) attempts to defend him but only succeeds in making his client look worse. Oliver Hardy has a small part as a police officer.
