SLIM.

Slim, a farmer from southeastern Ohio, becomes fascinated by a crew of linemen erecting transmission towers across his uncle and aunt's property. Red (Pat O'Brien), a lineman, takes a liking to Slim and persuades Pop to give him a chance as a "grunt", an assistant on the ground who sends up tools and parts. Slim wins the respect of Red and Pop when he spots cheating during a poker game and pitches in during the ensuing brawl. The three set out to have a good time (though Red insists on paying for everything) Slim finds himself falling for Cally, and she for him.
