Plot
Ma and Pa Kettle are trying to raise money to send their daughter Rosie to college, although they are unemployed and in debt. Pa deliberately walks into street traffic, hoping to win a monetary injury settlement, but instead causes a collision. Ma wants to participate in contests at the county fair, and Pa buys an old tired horse named Emma on credit to compete in the harness race, promising to pay the owner later with Ma's prize money.
