Synopsis: Buster (Keaton) is in love with the girl next door but families get in the way of their romance.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealers): In one scene a policeman chases Buster into a house. He sees movement under the sheets of a bed and sneaks up on it, pulling the covers off. It is a mama cat with her kittens, although the mama cat takes off through the window.
