Going back to collect his father's property in the early 1800s, Buster falls in love with the woman who gets in his train carriage with him and then has to defend himself against her family who, according to an old family feud unbeknownst to Buster, must kill him -- so long as he isn't in their house, in which case they have to treat him with Southern hospitality. The movie is all situational humor, and there are plenty of good gags: Buster's head going up into his hat when the shaky train they're on bounces around, a dog chasing the train that gets derailed, Buster getting beat up by the woman he tries to rescue from her abusive husband, and a horse made up to look like a woman from behind. The silly "prologue" which is followed by the "story" is amusing, and there are a few sophisticated touches, as well, like the historical view of the two dirt roads that are Broadway and 42nd Street or the imaginary estate that explodes in Buster's mind when he sees the shack that is his inheritance. The ending is dangerous, as Buster falls over a cliff into water (with a visually striking image of him and his chaser coming up to the surface), then getting dragged by a train, then standing on two rail cars, then using a box that falls off the train as a boat. And we get panicky watching him swing over a waterfall to catch his love. Dummy or not, it's wild. 8/10
