A bittersweet comedy about a simple hick who arrives in the big city to seek his fortune, "The Crazy Bumpkins" is about Ah Niu, who leaves his native village to live with an uncle in Hong Kong, not realizing he is a crook. After taking on a hilarious series of illegal jobs with his uncle, he meets and falls for a single mother and decides to find some real work. However, bad luck and naivete soon conspire to keep him from true happiness.

羅馬、張揚合導的《阿牛入城記》以阿牛（野峰）這個大鄉里來到香港，目睹香港低下層社會的光怪陸離，有悲有喜，有血有淚。阿牛生性戇直常常被人利用，周大叔（王沙）帶他做賭檔「睇水」，他以為是看著一桶水，大出洋相。阿牛做過很多工作，不時被壞份子利用如幫人「捉黃雞」勒索、到城寨做「阿牛艷舞」等，但阿牛的天真純樸仍得到阿花的喜愛，反映傳統社會的善良信念：天無絕人之路。後來，阿牛到碼頭做苦力，工人罷工，他繼績工作，竟然被打，阿牛自衛釀成大騷動，被拉入獄。結局無疑令人悲哀，卻反映編導的聰明之處，留下尾巴，讓關心阿牛命運的觀眾期待下集《阿牛出獄記》登場。
