The High Sign (1921)
Thrown off a train near an amusement park, Buster gets a job in a shooting gallery run by the Blinking Buzzards mob. Ordered to kill a businessman, Buster ends up protecting the man and his daughter.

Daydreams (1922)
In order to impress the father of a girl he is keen on, Buster goes to the city in search of work. In his letters home he writes of his various jobs which her imagination expands into much better ones; she thinks he's a surgeon when he is a vet's assistant and he is cleaning up on Wall Street when he's a janitor.
