Buster is trying to steal the jam pot while the cook is sleeping. Enter a tramp through the window, who grabs the pot and won't share with Our Hero. Can such thievery be borne?
Buster Brown was arguably the first comic-strip character to get a series of movies. Although intervening decades would see such multi-media crossovers relegated to animated cartoons for a few decades, the wheel has turned, and the comic strips' successors, like the Marvel Cinematic Universe are now the sources for some of the biggest-budgeted live-action movies of the past couple of decades -- if you don't insist on thinking that CGI is animation. I know I do.
