Directed by Charles Lamont
Produced by Universal International Pictures
A lighthearted, family-centered comedy about rural working-class luck and vindication, built on warmth, humor, and the comfort of domestic chaos resolved.
The Kettles and their fifteen children are about to be evicted from their rundown rustic home when Pa wins the grand prize by coming up with a new tobacco slogan. Birdie Hicks is jealous of the family's new wealth, which includes a completely automated modern home, and accuses Pa of stealing the slogan. Reporter Kim Parker proves Birdie wrong and marries Tom Kettle.
