The Hayseeds' Melbourne Cup is a 1918 Australian rural comedy from director Beaumont Smith.

Dad Hayseed buys a horse for £20 called Cornstalk and it starts winning so many local races he decides to enter it in the Melbourne Cup.

He is accompanied by his son Jim (the trainer), cousin Harold (jockey) and Mum Hayseed.

Jim falls in love with an actress, and Mum has a nightmare about washing steps of Parliament House.

Each of the first four Hayseeds movies had been filmed in a different state to maximise box-office appeal.
