Mooching Through Georgia

The second short in Buster Keaton's series of comedy two-reelers for Columbia Pictures has him playing a simpleton who accidentally joins the Yankee army instead of the Confederate, that his brother (Monte Collins) joins, however he has to protect Buster from the Yankees, who are in an all-out war with the Confederate soldiers. This version is superior than the later remake featuring the Three Stooges, thanks to sight gags, funny dialogue, and the bookend interaction with an elderly Buster and his nemesis in the beginning/end of the short.
