A struggling artist is deeply enmeshed in the world of cult cinema. As his identity blurs with his dark creations, he starts to see the monster from his films creeping into his reality, leaving him unable to distinguish fact from fiction.。两位雇农(基顿与罗伯茨饰演)同时爱上了农场主的女儿,为此展开争夺战。两个人住在同一间屋子里,里面有许多神奇的机械装置,譬如将床翻个面掉个个放置就变成了钢琴。基顿在逃跑的过程中伪装成一个稻草人,由此也成为这部短片片名的来由。。
