      A series of films written and directed by Beaumont Smith and featuring 'The Hayseeds', a rural family. The films range from rural comedy to science fiction.

      The films were very much marketed as a series in the early days, with newspapers identifying each new film by their number in the series.

      After the first four films, there was a pause of some years before the next two 'Hayseed' films were released. The comparative lack of box-office success of these two led to another hiatus, before the release of the comedy-musical The Hayseeds (essentially a re-boot of the series, and the only 'talkie' among them) in 1933.
