A Hollywood film-director has been sent to Hickory Kentucky to find material and acts for a hill-billy picture.He is kidnapped by henchmen of a big-town city slicker who has taken over the operation of the town's annual jubilee..mostly using bottom-of-the-barrel acts from the swamps of Florida. A Hollywood trade-paper reporter, sent to cover the event, finally thwarts the gang's plans to loot the civic coffers and the local bank. Jerry Colonna, between the 15 stagings of acts, from it appears Florida, of the type that killed vaudeville, flits in and out as a hired emcee, who also gets kidnapped. As for the singers, there are LOTS of them--as if you were watching a no-talent talent-show in Florida...and the losers were cast in this film. The exception is a former winner of a Texas talent show, Jean Porter from Cisco Texas.
