The Tollivers and the Calhouns have been feuding for 200 years, which makes things difficult for Emmy Lou Tolliver and Lee Roy Calhoun, who could be called the “Romeo and Juliet of the Hills.” The story of this age-old family feud even appears in the tabloid “Strange But True,” which inspires a couple of near-bankrupt New York publishing houses to send agents to sign up the conflicting families for a book deal. Throw some Hollywood agents looking for a movie deal into the pot, and you’ve got a rip-snortin’ comedy! So who do you suppose knows the whereabouts of the missing tabloid writer who never made it back to her office after writing her story about the feud in Lonesome Polecat? Maybe it’s Maw Tolliver and her daughters, Petunia and Dulcy, or it could be Paw Calhoun and his sons, Bubba and Goober. Whatever you do, don’t you dare say the word “hillbilly” to Paw or he’ll get his overalls in a bunch!
