Betty Treadville

The Cabin Kids, in between song and dance numbers, are at the county fair with intentions, fair or foul, of helping Mammy win the Pancakes cooking contest. Hillbillies Tom Emerson and His Mountaineers have a number also.

Samson Brown is a lazy and shiftless husband who lets his wife, Hannah, support the family. He is constantly insulted and annoyed by his in-laws, who live with them, and finally takes off for points unknown. At home, life goes on as usual with the exception of a former suitor who shows up to court Hannah when it is believed Samson is dead. While wandering around the desert Samson discovers a valuable radium deposit. The now-rich Samson plans to return home and sort out the family matters but first he buys a nightclub.
