Plot:

Sharing a humble farm cottage rigged with all sorts of clunky and wonderfully strange gadgetry, Buster, a toothache-stricken farmhand, and his roommate, Big Joe, find themselves vying for the attention of the same woman: Sybil, the farmer's beautiful only daughter. However, under those circumstances, can a misunderstood canine, a large threshing machine, a necessary impersonation, and a well-timed bow pave the way for a high-speed marriage ceremony and a happily married life?
