Arbuckle and Keaton's later collaborations were more concentrated on the storytelling, rather just setting up another slap stick gag after another. 'The Hayseed' also doesn't include many hilarious stunts in great scale, but there are plenty of clever and subtle amusing moments.
Great fun indeed. Arbuckle and Keaton rarely disappoint.
