To make matters worse, Pappy's son, Luke, and Ma Peppin's daughter, Emmy, are in love with each other. The two old feudists have been planning second matrimonial ventures, and each has secretly engaged Wash J'eddo, the half-witted village scribe, to write to a matrimonial bureau for a mate. Wash has enclosed Emmy's picture in Ma's letter and I..uke's in Pappy's signing their respective names instead of Ma's and Pappy's. Meanwhile, the mountain is all agog over the homecoming of the Triffet girls, Radio's newest hillbilly sensation, who bring their manager, Sol Silverstein, with them in quest of more hillbilly entertainers. When Sol attempts to sign Ma on the dotted line, she mistakes him for an answer to her letter and jumps at the chance. Complications set in as one of the Triffet sisters tries to vamp Luke and a pair of wildcats in the shape of a wild Irish rose and a temperamental Italian lad arrive from the matrimonial bureau to claim their mates. Luke and Emmy are dumfounded as Hog Mountain is trans- formed into an active volcano of riotous courtship. ln the midst of the turmoil, Pappy comes to settle his score with Ma and is captured by the wild Irish rose in her wildest moment. 17
