Features Arbuckle's classic "shaving routine, " where he progressively turns a Rasputin-like character into General Grant, Abraham Lincoln and then into the KaiserButcher boy: Contains Arbuckle's famous "knife juggling" bit, Keaton's first film appearance in his classic "can of molasses" routine, and Arbuckle romping around in drag at an all girl private schoolOut West: Arbuckle's first attempt at movie parody, poking fun at the already cliched cowboy western. The film also contains some heavy racismMoonshine: A parody of Arbuckle's own freewheeling comedy style, filled with inside jokes. After defeating the hillbilly mountaineers, Arbuckle and Keaton conclude the film with a stinging parody of rival Charlie Chaplin's "losing the girl" pathos-type endingsHayseed: Notable for being the only Arbuckle Comique film in which Buster Keaton -- later known as "The Great Stone Face" -- does not either laugh or smile on screen.
