How Rastus Gets His Turkey is a 1910 slapstick comedy silent film directed by Theodore Wharton.

Prowling round the local butchers he watches the stock of birds gradually dwindle without having the opportunity to take one unobserved.

At last he becomes desperate, and when old George Green purchases the last bird he sees that his only chance is to take it from him by hook or by crook.

While he turns away for a few minutes to sharpen his knife, Rastus puts his hand through a hole in the wooden fence and seizes the bird.

Green starts in pursuit, but Rastus soon gets away from him, although he has many a laughable difficulty to overcome, for his stony brain could not see that he could take the turkey in the other hand and drop the three boards.
