Summary

Pathe synopsis: At home on a farm near Coleshill, Birmingham, we find North Country comic Reg (Confidentially) Dixon. Although the scarecrows are exceptionally well dressed, Reg is no "gentleman farmer"; he dons old clothes and gum boots and tackles every job from muck-spreading to milking the cows - with great enthusiasm. Reg is especially proud of his animals, particularly the pedigree pigs, many of which have appeared with him in pantomime.
