A zany Vaudeville magician & his assistant become KENTUCKY KERNELS when they try to return a small boy to his rightful inheritance down in Plantation Country. What they don't realize is that they're walking right into the hottest feud in the Kentucky Hills...
Wheeler & Woolsey are in top form in this funny comedy (Bert Wheeler is the short guy with curly hair; Robert Woolsey is the fellow with the spectacles & cigar.) Although largely forgotten today, they were often hilarious and always fun to watch. This time they are given powerful support from little Spanky McFarland, of the OUR GANG series, one of the greatest of all child stars. Spanky, with his penchant for glass breaking, fits right in with the goofiness that abounds in all W & W films.
What there is of the plot is simply meant to move the gags along, although opening with an attempted suicide is a bit heavy. The romantics this time - between Wheeler & Mary Carlisle - is particularly thin. Others in the cast are basso villain Noah Beery; elderly Lucille La Verne (memorable a few years later as the voice of the Witch Queen in Disney's SNOW WHITE); and always funny Willie Best, here acting under his nickname of Sleep n' Eat. The monumental Margaret Dumont is given little to do in her few scenes; one longs to see her cast as Woolsey's foil.
The Boys - all of them - sing `One Little Kiss'.
