It's a warner brothers shortie, so things have to move right along. When a farmer ( wayne morris) helps out pat ( rosemary lane), she tells him to come look her up in the city. So he does. He has money, but isn't so street smart. And proposes to her right away. Pat's brother is played by george reeves (superman!). The only problem is that farmer cory's friends think pat and her brother are after his money. Can they iron things out? It's good, for a short 58 minutes. I thought i recognized mary larrabee... lee patrick was effie, in the maltese falcon. Some not so nice jokes at the butler's expense... he's an american indian; a sign of the times, i guess. Directed by noel smith; had started in silents, in the early days. Made shorts for about ten years. Moved into full length and talkies. Seems to have worked sporadically.. lots of gaps in between films on imdb.film based on a play by george cohan! Sadly, both morris and reeves died young at age 45. Lane only made a handful of films after this one.
