Plot edit

Ma and Pa Kettle help Brad Johnson turn his girlfriend Sally into a good farm wife. Wealthy Sally Flemming has fallen in love with an ordinary lumberjack.

Worried her father may oppose the marriage, the couple conceal her on the Kettle farm until he can convince her father that he'd be a suitable breadwinner.

Ma Kettle decides Flemming needs some heavy-duty lessons on how to be a good farm wife. Only Flemming's sense of humor helps her survive the lessons, which include getting up at 4:30AM; being surrounded by livestock; and mastering the use of non-modern appliances. The wedding does take place in the end.
