Plot

L'il Abner
1940
Andy Capp's famous comic strip about the citizens of Dogpatch comes to the screen in this first of two adaptations. Featuring most of the characters that appeared in the newspaper strip, this comedy centers upon the annual Sadie Hawkins Day celebration, which gives the unmarried females in town an opportunity to chase down and catch a husband from the local bachelors. Abner (Granville Owen) seems to be the target of three ladies, including his girlfriend Daisy Mae (Martha O'Driscoll). This film also features an appearance by classic film star Buster Keaton as Lonsome Polecat.

Speak Easily
1932
After being mistakenly informed of a $750,000 he will not actually inherit, naïve Professor Potts (Buster Keaton) decides to live a little by quitting his university job, withdrawing his life savings and travel. Meeting a traveling vaudeville troupe on the train and being convinced by Jimmy the piano player (Jimmy Durante) that the show is a success, Potts decides to use his money to buy the show and bring it to Broadway. After discovering what type of show he bought during opening night, Potts attempts to apologize to the audience but instead becomes the hit of the show by accidentally stumbling into the production number and show effects. Potts must now contend with the show, the creditors looking for money as well as the affections of his home town sweetheart and the show's leading lady.
