Periodically, Mountain Maggie must patch someone who is hurt in the feud. Rosie Belle takes the only unattached male in the hills from under her sister Emmy's nose. Emmy, who would like to get "hitched", enlists the aid of Mountain Maggie to put an end to the feud. Mountain Maggie convinces Maw Fry and Pappy Popoff that some plain sugar water that she gives them is a "love-potion" which will make them fall in love. They are tired of being lonely and have just about decided to marry and end the feud, when Rosie Belle arrives with the news that it was all a trick. Once again the feud is going full force. In the end, the feud is ended and everybody is happy, but not before thereare several merry mix-ups and rib-tickling situations.
