Coming from a long line of potato racing champions, Penny can’t believe it when she hears the men’s prize money is more than double that of the women. After learning of this injustice, she swings into action to right the wrong, pitting family against family, sister against sister, potato racer against potato racer and despite best intentions, causes no little havoc in her home town of Appleton…
