When the Champ trains at Farmer Dingle's farm, he becomes hopelessly distracted by Amy Dingle—a problem that only gets worse when a conniving sportswriter tricks his way into the household and feeds her location to the Champ's rival, Slugger Malone.

A farmer and his wife navigate the chaos of rural life with laugh-at-every-turn mishaps and wry country logic—from narrow escapes in the barn to inventive (if questionable) approaches to dairy farming and weather prediction. This 1954 humor story serves up pure slapstick farm comedy with folksy wisdom and deadpan one-liners that land harder than a pitchfork.
Farmer Dingle and his daughter Amy seem like easy marks when a pair of crooks devises a scheme to swindle the farm—until one of the plotters shows up on their doorstep pretending to be a sickly stranger seeking fresh air and quiet.

Gig McCoy discovers he has no sales resistance when he ends up with far more salt than he needs, prompting Bill and the other fellas to swap tall tales around the cracker barrel about their own relatives' susceptibility to a smooth-talking salesman.
