That guy can cook a turkey in 5-10 minutes?!

Buster West plays a young man who wants to marry a lady. But there's a problem...her father is a complete grouch! So the plan is to invite her and her father to dinner. And, after feeding him a great dinner, he'll be more likely to give his approval. But there are some problems. First, Buster gets his friend (Tom Patricola) to pose as his butler AND relies on this guy to cook the meal. Second, the father wants turkey...and there are some serious problems getting a turkey cooked because a thief hid a stolen bracelet inside the turkey! It becomes a lot more complicated than this...and even involves a police captain! See the film to find out what's next.

This is an enjoyable short. My only reservation is that it's pretty light on laughs...in fact, I can't think of any...which is a problem since it's a comedy! Also, I was confused because right near the end, they FINALLY get a turkey and it is cooked almost instantly...not the three-four hours you'd expect for such a huge bird!
