Stanley wears a hat like a straw orange juicer in this rough slapstick comedy set in the orange fields of sunny Southern California, and everyone throws oranges at each other. This was standard for his Hal Roach short subjects in this go-around at the studio, when he wasn't doing lampoons of popular movies for Billy Anderson. Sometimes they'd be set in a brick yard, so the cast could hence bricks at each other. It's moderately funny, because f the supporting cast, which includes Katherine Grant and James Finlayson, as well as other Roach regulars.

The problem is that it's standard hard-knock slapstick, indistinguishable from other raw slapstick comics of the era. We look at it because it stars Stan Laurel, but he's not the Mr. Laurel we know and love.
