     Run fer the hills! They’s a-feudin’! The year was 1810. As the feud between the Canfields and the McCays comes to a boil there remains one descendant, a one-year-old boy named Willie McCay. His mother decides that he will not suffer the same abuse as his family. So she sends him to live in New York until her death twenty years later. Hearing the news of her death Willie travels south to claim the estate, wary of the feud. En route he begins to fall in love with a woman on the train, never suspecting that she’s the daughter of the house of Canfield. Upon arrival her family discovers who he is and begins a one-sided feud against him. When the girl invites him to supper, her father puts away his weapon, saying that their code forbids them to kill a rival neighbor when he’s a guest in their home. When Willie overhears this he decides to become a permanent guest. This send-up of the legendary Hatfield-McCoy feud of the late 1800s is entertaining throughout, blending comedy, action, and terrific stunt-work (all done by Keaton), making this a true classic of the era.
