Farmhands Keaton and Roberts share a cottage full of mechanical devices for making life easy. They are rivals for the farmer's daughter. Keaton , disguised as a scarecrow, causes troubles for his rival and the farmer. When Keaton stoops to tie his shoe, the girl accepts what she thinks is his kneeling proposal.

Silent films I've watched from before the talkies i.e. 1900-1929ish, but there were a few early talkies as the new technology developed in the late 1920s. Mostly sci-fi/fantasy, horror, a few drama (NOTE: If you wanna watch these too, there are restored versions with gorgeous soundtracks on youtube of many silent films, a few I found on internet archive)
