There’s trouble in Tatertown! The Idaho community is desperate for rain lest their potato crops dry up in the fields. Especially hard hit are Irish Tater, his wife Etta Tater, and the Tater tots: Sweetpea, Lyonnaise, and Chip. Unless a solution is found, they will be forced to move, along with the other farmers in Taterfield County. Their plight is the result of a dastardly scheme hatched by Noah Count, the scoundrel lawyer who deliberately left the water rights out of their deeds. The townsfolk send our hero, Spud Farmer, to bargain for water with the B.Z. Beaver Corporation that dammed the Snake River. To Spud’s surprise, Sue Duse is not only head of the business, but Noah’s partner in crime. Spud’s ladylove, Candide Yam and the other citizens spy on the negotiations — all in wacky disguises. Hilarity abounds as the Tater tots are kidnapped for ransom and Spud fights Noah to stop the villain from blowing up the dam! This ’dynamite’ melodrama sprouts other characters including Ida Hoe, Tilda Fields, Cher Kropper, Marshal Art, and Pastor Salt.

It was a funny melodrama that the kids understood. It wasn’t too far over their heads
