Snub Pollard, an Okie tired of frequent tornadoes, decides to haul all of his worldly goods and his wife to a better land. It is California OR BUST, but what's more likely, California, or bust?
I can see how the other reviewer saw a six minute version -- this is a movie that breaks down easily in several parts. Fortunately, all the parts are chock full of funny, imaginative gags, as well as an interesting view of the privations of long distance auto travel in 1923. A conflict with Jimmmy Finlayson at an auto camp (forerunner to the trailer parks) presages many similar conflicts Stan and Ollie would have with the angry Mr. Finlayson. Other gags tend to be very elaborate and feature Rube Goldberg style inventions.
The long version is very worth finding.
