Ma and Pa Kettle are comic film characters of the successful film series of the same name, produced by Universal Studios in the late 1940s and 1950s. "The hillbilly duo have their hands full with a ramshackle farm and a brood of rambunctious children. When the future comes a-callin' in the form of modern houses, exotic locales, and newfangled ideas, Ma and Pa must learn how to make the best of it with luck, pluck, and a little country charm."
