ComedyDramaFamilyRomance

The most important family in Hickoryville is (not surprisingly) the Hickorys, with sheriff Jim and his tough manly sons Leo and Olin. The timid youngest son, Harold, doesn't have the muscles to match up to them, so he has to use his wits to win the respect of his strong father and also the love of beautiful Mary.

VIBE

A charming silent comedy that feels like a warm hug from the past. It's a delightful, innocent tale of a young man finding his courage and winning hearts, filled with gentle humor and a touch of old-fashioned romance.
