HAYSEED ROMANCE (1935) Buster answers an advertisement for a farmhand - but finds himself more of a "slavehand" at the hands of a large domineering woman - who happens to have a pretty niece. Highlights include Buster trying to get to sleep in a leaky attic during a rainstorm (with disastrous results) and a surreal heart-to-heart encounter with his "conscience"!
MIXED MAGIC (1936) "The Great Spomoni" has just fired his male assistant and at his lovely female assistant's urging, hires Buster to replace him in his magic act. Needless to say that Buster makes a shambles of everything from "The Oriental Barrel Mystery" to "The Mongolian Duck Trick" with hilarious results.

Buster hopes to raise the money by selling a trailer to some newlyweds who come to stay - but first he has to remove the cow that his Uncle Jed (Al St. John) is currently storing in it.
