Unemployed magicians Willie (Bert Wheeler) and Elmer (Robert Woolsey) act as guardian to mischievous orphan Spanky Milford (Spanky McFarland) and head south when the kid inherits a homestead in Kentucky. Little do they know that their journey will take them smack dab in the middle of an old-fashioned family feud. Hilarious hillbilly hijinks-W&W's; biggest hit-co-stars Noah Beery, Lucille La Verne, and Margaret Dumont.
