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.

A man travels to Hooterville to investigate a line connection.

Kate wants to hide the Hooterville Cannonball to save it from the scrap heap.

The railroad president decides to scrap the Cannonball himself.

Curtis breaks the throttle of the Cannonball and blocks the way to Kate's jamboree.
