''The Garage'' is a 1920 short film co-starring Creator/FattyArbuckle and Creator/BusterKeaton, directed by Arbuckle.
Fatty and Buster work at an auto repair shop that doubles as a fire station. Fatty is sweet on Rube the garage owner's daughter, but a fancy gentleman, Jim the Dude, is also paying court to Rube's daughter. Fatty accidentally dunks the flowers Jim was going to give the daughter in motor oil, causing the daughter to reject Jim. Angered, Jim then sets off a false fire alarm, sending Jim and Buster off on a wild goose chase. Then he accidentally starts a real fire.
The [[ThoseTwoActors fourteenth and last]] film co-starring Arbuckle and Keaton. Keaton would soon after start his own production company. Arbuckle's career would come to a sudden halt barely a year later when he was unjustly accused of murder.

!!Tropes:
* TheAlcoholic: Buster evidently thinks his drink doesn't have enough kick, so he spikes it with wood alcohol.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: The daughter, and then Buster and Fatty, are shown lying down across some power lines. While a bird can sit on ''one'' power line because it doesn't complete any electric circuit, lying across multiple lines like that would fry anyone who tried it.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As with all the other Arbuckle-Keaton shorts, Keaton does not act TheStoic, instead being very expressive and indeed verging on LargeHam from time to time. Keaton didn't develop his "Great Stone Face" persona until he embarked on a solo career.
