Widow Kate Bradley and her three daughters - Bobbie Jo, Billie Jo and Bettie Jo - run the Shady Rest Hotel, a small-town inn where city folks come to enjoy the quiet. Nothing much happens around Hooterville, so it's up to the girls to come up with their own schemes for fun.

Charley decides it's time to quit as engineer of the Cannonball when the citizens of Hooterville seem too busy to spend any time with him.

A man travels to Hooterville to investigate a line connection.

Uncle Joe believes an old schoolmate of Kate's is a con artist, instead of the millionaire he says he is.

Uncle Joe becomes a fight promoter when he meets a young plumber with the size and strength of a gorilla.
