What happens

The Adventures of Algy is a 1925 Australian comedy film written and directed by Beaumont Smith about a "silly ass" Englishman (Claude Dampier) who inherits a sheep station in New Zealand. It is an unofficial follow up to Hullo Marmaduke (1924), which also starred Dampier. Unlike most of Smith's silent films, most of the movie survives today. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
