                Joyful and unashamed, Betsy Kelso's comic fable about women in a Florida trailer park and their no-account men is more fun than a chair-throwing episode set to music.  There's a new tenant at Armadillo Acres - and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park.  This is a wheel-spinning, mud-splattering good time of a show!
