7/10
Wow...the IMDb summary pretty much reveals everything!

Warning: Spoilers
Buster gets a job as a hired hand at the farm of a young lady with which he is infatuated. While working there he has to contend with a rainy night and a leaky bed as well as his thinking he's actually just gotten engaged to the lady's rather large aunt! It's funny that IMDb warns reviewers not to give spoilers but on rare occasions the summaries provided give lots of spoilers. So, unfortunately, if you read the summary before you see the movie, you'll not exactly be surprised what happens in the surprise twist at the end of the movie!

Like you might expect in a Keaton comedy, he takes some tremendous falls and the sight gags really are amazing to watch. However, like all the Educational Pictures shorts, it's not quite up to the standards of his earlier films of the 1920s (which were often brilliant) but they are a lot better than some of the drivel MGM has been putting him in just before he left for Educational.
