When it turns out that father-in-law Billy Franey owns an estate down south, he swaps it to Edgar on the cheap. The reason why becomes apparent when the two men and Edgar's wife, Vivian Oakland, head over to the desolate place and a long-running feud.
You may enjoy hillbillies in comedy more than I do, but I think it's one of the poorer episodes of Edgar Kennedy's THE COMMON MAN series for RKO. Well, it ran for 17 years, from 1931 through his death in 1948, averaging half a dozen episodes each year, so there were bound to be a few poor ones. There are some fine, full-body pratfalls by Edgar and Billy, but they seem to be shot more for chaos than comedy.
