Lloyd is the neglected younger brother of a rough country family. His foolish antics result in a suspect medicine show staying in town, who are then believed to have stolen money. To impress a girl, Lloyd must save the day.
'The Kid Brother' follows the exact same story template as his earlier film 'Grandma's Boy'. It is also his most Keaton like effort. There are Western family feud elements that recall 'Our Hospitality' (1923) (including the famous shot of an animal disguised as a lady in a dress), haunted ship elements that recall 'The Navigator' (1924), as well as inventive mechanical humour, which recalls much of Keaton's work. So it is entertaining enough with a few chuckles, but not very original, and none of it matches the work of the master he is imitating. I would seek that out instead.
