This film is part of the four DVD set of the "Forgotten Films of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle" from Mackinac Media. While less of his old comedy shorts remain that those of Chaplin (who lived much longer and preserved his films whereas Arbuckle died very young a man despised by the public), the nice people at Mackinac did an exceptional job tracking down his films, restoring them to almost new condition in many cases, and in this case, piecing together a film from various sources to bring to life a movie previously thought to be lost! Unfortunately, an important part of the plot has been seen quite a few times before in Arbuckle films--the appearance of neighbor Al St. John with a letter from his father proposing that Al marry the farmer's daughter. And, in this case as in most other cases when this story element was used, the father agrees for the daughter! So, it's up to Fatty to save the girl and win her heart. This film isn't exactly new material, but is handled so nicely that it still merits an 8--a cute and well made comedy short.
