What happens

The Haunted Barn is a short 1931 Australian comedy film produced by F.W. Thring directed by Gregan McMahon. It was one of the first productions by Thring's Efftee Studios. The film was produced to support of the feature Diggers (1931) and shown on the same bill. Thring's biographer later called the movie a "dog's breakfast" directed by two men "who could never have worked productively together". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
