One of two Ma and Pa Kettle films made by Marjorie Main without Percy Kilbride who had retired from film making.
Ma and Pa Kettle were married in 1927.
In this film, the Kettles sell their modern home and purchase Bob and Betty MacDonald's farm. They still own their old farmhouse, but this time the exterior set was built on a soundstage and is not the same one that was used in the previous films.
In its review of the movie, Independent Exhibitors Film Bulletin wrote: "How long the Kettles will go on is anybody's guess. This one adds no lustre, and it might very well be the last of the series".
