What happens

Love Nest on Wheels is a 1937 Educational Pictures short subject directed by Buster Keaton and Charles Lamont. The film borrows heavily from Keaton's 1918 film The Bell Boy and was a kind of "Hillbilly remake". The film is notable because it is one of the rare times that Buster Keaton appeared onscreen with his family, with whom he had performed in vaudeville as the Three Keatons. The Keaton family also appeared together in the 1935 Educational short Palooka from Paducah. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
