When millionaire ad executive Rich Larson flees New York for the
Catskills, he seeks the kind of happiness derived from a rod, reel,
and a bucket of worms. But after he assumes a new identity as
Johnny Paycash, a singer-songwriter who regularly performs at the
Hooten Holler Taproom, he is inexplicably framed as a drug-dealing
terrorist by a crooked, cross-dressing cop.
After his fingerprints are found on a bag of cocaine, Johnny is
arrested, thrown in the slammer, and forced to rely on Fat Schanz,
his gambling-addicted ex-convict lawyer, to bail him out. If not
for his girlfriend, Sugarfoot, a vivacious farm girl who sings like
an angel and shoots like Annie Oakley, Johnny might go insane-the
exact defense his lawyer is planning on his behalf. As Johnny
stands in court in front of Judge Perkins, he receives raucous
support from the unruly regulars of the Hooten Holler
Taproom-including Big Al, a house painter who looks like Elvis, and
Tommy Dick, a womanizing honky-tonk piano man.
As mayhem surrounds the trial, a mysterious ghostwriting gossip
columnist chronicles the adventures and leads the entire oddball
group to a surprise unveiling of the truth about a kidnapping, a
murder, and quite possibly a miracle.
