Aroview: The first four comedies starring O'Connor as an affably naive young man, who is assisted through life by a berating, smart-arsed talking mule whom he befriends in the Army.

Combining whimsical situation comedy and lowly humour, this is worth a nostalgic peek. The voice of Francis the mule was provided by Chill Wills.
