Synopsis
Josh Morgan is an Air Force officer tries to persuade a highly independent
hillbilly family to sell their land to the government for use as a missile site.
The Tatum family don't want any part of the government snooping around their
mountain and interfering with their moonshine-making activities.
Josh Morgan romances Azalea Tatum, and Jodie Tatum romances Midge, a WAC. After
a half-dozen songs and several dance numbers, everything turns out for the best:
the government gets the mountain and Josh and Jodie gets the girls.
