Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey star with "Spanky" McFarland in the slapstick comedy Kentucky Kernels. Out of work vaudevillians Willie (Wheeler--Diplomaniacs) and Elmer (Woolsey--Diplomaniacs) somehow become the guardians of Spanky Milford (McFarland--Little Rascals) and think they've come into a fortune when Spanky inherits a farm in Kentucky. What they don't know is that the farm sits directly in the line of fire in a feud between the Milfords and the Wakefields. Now, as Willie falls in love with the beautiful Gloria Wakefield (May Carlisle), and the pair manage to arrange a truce, young Spanky manages to reignite the war between the two families.
