Hankerin' Hillbillies
Synopsis
Pa Herford loves his
five daughters, but there are days he wonders if he should have just raised
puppies! All the girls up in
the hills are suffering from what Pa calls “The Hanerkin’,” for they all
want to get hitched – and “Any Ol’ Man’ll Do,” as they sing in hillbilly
harmony. The only exception is Charlemaine, who only loves her books. But everything changes when
government man Marcus Slidell shows up to buy land from the Herfords. For
Charlie, it's love at first sight. Marcus, on the other hand, is all
business. Unfortunately,
the land he wants to purchase is the same plot that the Herfords and the Guernseys
have been feuding over for decades. While Marcus tries to figure out what
to do, Charlie figures she has to find some way to catch Marcus's eye, so she
has Widder Perkins, "The Black Widder", fix her up a love potion.
Whooo-eee! After that, things really go crazy! The daffy Bickle
Sisters think the Holler is about to be invaded, husband-hunting Herfords and
Guernseys try to snare government men right and left and newspaper editors race
to get the scoop on what's new with the feud.
