When country bumpkin Pa Kettle (Percy Kilbride) enters a competition hoping to get a free tobacco pouch, he unexpectedly wins first prize: a brand-new modern house in the suburbs. Although Ma (Marjorie Main) quickly adapts to her new home's push-button conveniences, Pa is flummoxed by the newfangled technology. Meanwhile, the couple's more educated son, Tom (Richard Long), romances journalist Kim (Meg Randall), who's intrigued by how a man raised in rural poverty could become so successful.

Audience Member Sequel to The Egg & I (2nd film in series) and probably my fave of the Ma & Pa Kettle films. Pa wins a newfangled, automated house by writing a jingle for a tobacco company & Bertie Hicks tries to prove Pa stole the jingle from someone else. With Richard Long. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 6.5/10. Certainly one of the best in the series, and it was the first one after their debut in "The Egg and I". The Kettles win an ultra modern home. Even though the home is at times dated by today's standards, it is still an amazing house and some of the gadgets are quite fascinating. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
